Constantine I. AD 307/310-337. Æ (11mm, 0.88 g, 12h). Balkan imitation. [...]VIVIIO, diademed head right / IIOI[...], two figures standing vis-à-vis; rosette between. Good VF. Rare.


While initially appearing to resemble 5th century nummi, the design appears to have been inspired by early 4th century types of Constantine I. In addition, the excessive use of the letters I and O in the legend place this coin with the numerous, larger-module Balkan imitations.
