Constantius I (AD 293-305) follis, Rauceby Hoard

From the famous Rauceby Hoard discovered in Lincolnshire, UK in 2017, the largest UK find from this period. The hoard was buried around AD 307 in a limestone pit, likely as part of a deliberate ceremonial or votive offering. It matches the exact moment Constantine the Great was acclaimed emperor in York.

Provenance: Leu 38 (Dec 2025), part of lot 1890 attributed by Leu to the Rauceby Hoard.  Each coin should be catalogued by weight in the publication below, though the weight is likely ~0.1 lighter currently due to cleaning versus the weight documented (see sullacoins.com post below).  I have not matched this coin.
