RIC VII 48 - Helena – 10 viewsHELENA, mother of Constantine. Augusta, 324-328/330 AD. Æ nummus (2.87 gm). Thessalonica mint, 1st officina. Struck circa 318-319 AD. HELE-NA N F, draped bust right / Star of eight rays within laurel wreath; TSA. RIC VII 48.
The coinage of Helena as Augusta commenced with her elevation to full imperial status in 324 and continued until her death five years later. Preceding these issues, however, was a remarkable series struck circa 318 AD at the Thessalonica mint on which both Helena and her daughter-in-law Fausta are accorded the lesser title of Nobilissima Femina (N F). Both ladies had borne this rank for a considerable time, Helena since her son's elevation to imperial status in 306, Fausta since her marriage to Constantine in March of the following year. The significance of this anepigraphic reverse remains uncertain, though it presumably contains some reference to divine providence and destiny. Photo and description courtesy CNG
