Constantine II “the Young”

Constantine II “the Young”

  • Reign over Roman Empire (Gaul, Spain, and Britain): AD 337–340
  • Period: Constantinian dynasty

Flavius Claudius Constantinus Augustus was born in Arles, France, and died in Aquileia, Italy, in 340. He inherited a part of the empire that his father, Constantine I, shared between him and his two other sons, Constantius II and Constans. He thus obtained Gaul, Hispania, and Britain. Constantius II received Asia Minor and Constans was granted Italy, Africa, and Pannonia (Central Europe).

As was to be suspected, this division resulted in dissension among the siblings. Constantine II, feeling aggrieved, marched on Rome in 340 and was killed in an ambush outside Aquileia, Italy.

Cupronickel

Cupronickel

Cupronickel (or copper-nickel), also known by the French registered term cuivre blanc (white copper), is an alloy far less modern then one might initially think. Appearances can be misleading! There are examples dating from the Warring States period in China between the 5th and 3rd century BC. Back then, it was used for weapons. In its natural state, the alloy was probably of extraterrestrial origin, arriving on Earth with falling meteorites.

As the Chinese traded with the neighboring Bactrian kingdom, it is there that the first traces of cupronickel coins are found.

Jumping ahead a few millennia and some meteor dust, it first appeared in the West in the US in 1857.

With the price of copper at its highest ever, cupronickel was chosen for the new one cent coin. The alloy at the time contained 88% copper to 12% nickel, and the coin was smaller in diameter than its predecessor (there are no small savings, right?).

Cupronickel is now extremely popular and frequently used for coinage.

Dark gray in color, this alloy, generally comprising around 75% copper to 25% nickel, is highly resistant to corrosion.
