CaptCaveman45 Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 i believe the obverse is constantine or constantinius. looks like soldier? on reverse, other than that it is fairly worn down. just looking for possible identification 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Julius Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) What’s the size and weight? That would narrow down the possibilities. It does look like Constantius II. If it’s small 17-16mm, it could be a SPES REIPVBLICAE reverse from the late 350s. Here’s one of mine: Edited October 22, 2022 by Orange Julius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Julius Posted October 22, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 Yeah, yours is cropped a bit closer to the legend so a that size is not too small for the type and weight is what you’d expect. I’m pretty sure it’s a Constantius II SPES REIPVBLICAE… if it was the other option for this coin type (Julian), there would be no diadem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
