Commentary
Au revers l’étendard est orné d’un annelet. Il s’agit bien d’un centenionalis pour Constantin II Auguste. Ce type de monnayage est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
On the reverse, the standard is decorated with an annulet. This is indeed a centenionalis for Constantine II Augustus. This type of coinage is in fact much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
CONSTANTINE II
(1/03/317-04/340)
Augustus
Born in 315 or 316, Constantine the Younger receives on coins the title of Caesar like his half-brother Crispus and his cousin Licinius, as well as the title of prince of youth. Constantine II is the eldest son of Constantine I and Fausta. In September 337, he received the "pars occidentalis" from the Empire with subjection to his brother Constans, Constantius II having the "pars orientalis". Very quickly, Constantin and Constans fall out. The eldest is eliminated in April 340.
