That piece was one of eight known gold pendants of the necklace “originating from the famous Beaurains hoard,” and a “reconstruction of the necklace is illustrated on plate xi....of
Le tresor de Beaurains (dit d’Arras)
.” The other seven pendants from the Beaurains necklace consisted of aurei of Hadrian (two pieces), Faustina Junior, Commodus, Caracalla, Julia Domna, and Postumus. The Postumus piece, once owned by Edward T. Newell, is today part of the American Numismatic Society’s collection.

The capricorn represents Octavian’s birth sign and appeared often as a coin type during his reign. Adding the cornucopia, or horn of plenty, to the back of the capricorn symbolizes the prosperity brought about through his efforts, and his victories are symbolized by the laurel wreath.

Constantine II.
As Caesar, AD 316-337. AV Aureus (21mm, 5.35 g, 12h). Nicomedia mint, 4th officina. Struck AD 319. D N FL CL CONSTANTINVS NOB C, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / SOLI IN VICTO, Sol, radiate and in Eastern attire, standing left, raising right hand and holding globe in left; SMNΔ. Cf. RIC VII 22 (Crispus; for rev. [same die]); Calicó –; cf. Depeyrot 30/1 (Crispus) corr. (example is listed as officina Γ); Biaggi 2096 (this coin). EF, toned, a few field marks. Apparently unique issue for Constantine II as Caesar.
Ex Leo Biaggi de Blasys Collection, 2096.
The higher-than-average weight for this coin, a weight that harkens back to the reign of Diocletian, suggests that this coin was part of a
festaureus
issue – coinage struck for a special celebration. Likewise, the reverse, showing Sol Invictus, is also unusual. While Sol Invictus was a particularly common type on Roman coinage, especially during the third quarter of the third century, his use as a type began to fall out of favor following Constantine’s victory over Maxentius in AD 312 at the Milvian Bridge. Also, the depiction of Sol in Oriental attire is relatively rare in Roman coin iconography, and may be indicative of the purpose for this issue. Sol’s appearance in form on a very rare issue of aurei of Galerius as Caesar from Alexandria certainly refers to that emperor’s war against the Sasanians in AD 298, while later issues of Maximinus at Antioch and Alexandria have been associated with his persecution of the Christians. As there was peace between the Romans and Persians at the time of the present issue, its striking at Nicomedia, a mint held by Licinius, may allude to the resurgence of persecutions against Christians in his eastern territories in the years following his uneasy
rapprochment
with Constantine at Campus Ardiensis in AD 317.
