For reasons unclear, the Trier mint starting with the post-reform coinage minted an enormous variety of bust types and obverse legends not seen at any other mint. By the time of Constantine I and Licinius I, the busts had become extremely ornate, with complex scenes depicted on shields and impressive martial depictions such as on this coin.
