Comment
Not listed in RIC: the legend has VOT XX instead of VOT X.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was the son of Constantine the Great and served as Caesar of the Roman Empire from 317 to 326 AD. Despite his importance in Roman history, Crispus's life and reign were cut short when he was executed by his father in 326 AD, making coins bearing his image relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors.
