The billon (roughly 25% percent silver) coins of the late Tetrarchy were minted circa 313 A.D. in Trier. Trier was the capital of Constantine's Gallic Empire, so it would be expected to issue special coinage, like these billon coins. These coins, or Festmünzen, may have been issued to celebrate the short-lived reconciliation of the three Augusti following the defeat of Maxentius in 312.
