Crispus. Caesar, AD 316-326. AR Siliqua (2.42 g, 12h). Nicomedia mint. Struck circa AD 326. Diademed head right / CRISPVS CAESAR, Three palm fronds; star above; N. Cf. RIC VII p. 720, 70A, for this type at Antioch; otherwise unpublished. Near EF, porous, small flan crack, areas of find patina. Apparently the second known of the type and unique for Nicomedia mint.

The Antioch issue noted in RIC VII Addenda may be the only published example of this type, which was not noted by RSC.
