Roman Empire. Crispus (AD 317-326). Follis (No reserve price)

The follis minted under Crispus (AD 317-326), the eldest son of Constantine the Great, offers insight into the early 4th-century Roman monetary system and imperial representation. Crispus held the title of Caesar and was entrusted with military and administrative duties before his untimely death. The follis was a bronze coin designed for everyday commerce, part of Constantine’s broader reforms to stabilize the currency after decades of turmoil. Coins featuring Crispus often include his portrait and symbols of authority, serving to reinforce his status within the ruling dynasty and the unity of the empire. These pieces are important not only for their monetary function but also for their political messaging amid a period of dynasty strengthening and religious transition.
