    This is a scarce example of a Constantine I as Caesar. The first workshop is also unlisted in RIC.

    The “sacred money” reverse type was issued to commemorate the Edict on Maximum Prices issued by Diocletian in A.D. 301 and was struck in the names of all the rulers. This attempt to regulate inflation was a failure though.
