I was browsing through my campgates and saw this coin that I had totally forgotten about. It is a very rare example. RIC rated it r5, meaning they only saw 1 example, but this one also has an unlisted workshop. What is really neat though, is that Constantine II has a spear over his shoulder. This coin was struck A.D. 318- 319 and Constantine Jr was born in A.D. 316, so he is only 2 or 3 years old...and they gave him a spear!
