Description

CONSTANTINE II, as Caesar. 317-337 AD. Æ Follis (18mm - 3.59 g). Arles mint. Struck 324-325 AD. CONSTANTINTS (sic) IVN NOB C, laureate head right / PROVIDEN-TIAE CAESS, camp-gate with no doors and two turrets, star above; T*AP. RIC VII -; LRBC -. EF, glossy brown patina with some light deposits.

From the Zachary "Beast" Beasley Collection of Camp Gates; Ex Killingholme Hoard.

An unusual coin with a misspelled obverse legend and an incorrect mint mark, with a P instead of an R. At first I thought this might be an ancient imitation but the style appears to be correct for Arles and the weight is fine.
