The first son of Constantine the Great and his second wife Fausta, was Constantine II. History books describe his upbringing as ”born in the purple“: he was destined to become Caesar at a young age, and so he grew up as a spoiled, entitled child. When he became a young Caesar, he immediately ordered new coinage to be struck with his likeness in order to advertise his new status across the empire.
The obverse depicts a portrait of Constantine II, and the reverse features a depiction of Aries and other military themes, as they symbolize the strength of the empire on the coinage. This coin has been certified by NGC to be in very fine (VF) condition. This is incredible for a nearly 2,000 year old coin!
