CONSTANS, A.D. 337-350. AV Medallion of 1-1/2 Solidi Weight (6.69 gms), Treveri Mint, A.D. 342-343. NGC MS, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. Wavy Flan.

cf. RIC-121/119 (for obv./rev.); cf. Gnecchi-11 (for obv.; rev. Unlisted). Obverse: FL IVL CONSTANS P F AVG, laurel-and-rosette diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right; Reverse: GLORIA EXERCITVS, Constans standing facing, head left, holding trophy and resting hand upon shield set upon ground; TR. Quite alluring and provocative, this unpublished type presents a captivating rendition of the emperor owing to the larger flan that this potentially UNIQUE issue has to offer. Though mentioned as somewhat wavy with respect to its flan, it has remained rather elegant and does not display any of the commonly encountered issues such as mounting, since turning such specimens into jewelry pieces was exceptionally en vogue. Bright golden-yellow in color and unendingly impressive, this incredibly difficult specimen should command intense focus and attention.
