I really like the heroic bust types of Crispus, which come in many different varieties:

CRISPV SNOBILC // BEATATRA NQLITAS -- VOT IS XX -- F - B -- PLON
TRANQLITAS instead of TANQVILLITAS

Mint: London
Date: 323-324 ?
RIC 279
Interesting shield decorations

 

CRISPV SNOBILC // BEATTRA NQLITAS -- VOT IS XX -- PLON
Mint: London
Date: 323-324?

 

Interestingly, the mint of Lugdunum (Lyon) used the form CRISPO, i.e. the dativ case in the legend.

DNCRISPO NOBCAES -- BEATATRAN QVILLITAS -- VOT IS XX -- PLC
Mint: Lugdunum (Lyon)
Date: 323-324?

So the legend should probably be read "To our lord Crispus the noble Caesar"

 

At the time, the best celators were operating in Trier.
IVLCRISPVSNOBCAES // BEATATRAN QVILLITAS -- VO TIS XX -- .PTR.
Mint: Trier
Date: 323-324?




And my favorite. Here the celator went all out to produce a small work of art.

IVL CRISPVSNOBCAES // BEATATRAN QVILLITAS -- VO TIS XX -- .PTR (crescent)
Mint: Trier
Date: 323-324?

Finely decorated helmet, cuirass and shield
