The obverse of a small bronze follis (showing remnants of silvering), 18 mm, struck in Alexandria, Egypt, in the name of Crispus, as Caesar 317- 326 AD, under his father the Roman emperor Constantine I "the Great".

References include RIC vii, 35, which dates this issue to 325- 326 and rates this coin's availability as "R1", rare, but the least rare of the rare.
