Comment
The dedication of Constantinople dates from May 11, 330. From this point onwards, coins of the "Urbs Roma" and "CONSTANTINOPOLIS" types were produced in every workshop in the Empire. These coins continued to be minted until the early 340s. Small bronzes in the Rome and Constantinople types began to be minted from 330-331, depending on the workshop. Minting only ceased ten years later, around 340. In the meantime, the mintage of these Nummi or Centenionales increased from 1/132th of a pound (2.46 g) to 1/192nd of a pound in 336 (1.69 g). In Trier, the type was produced in the workshop's two offices.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who was the first Christian Roman emperor and played a significant role in establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.
