other side is blank to correded

 

It will be tough to near impossible to ID. I seem to be able to make out that the bust is helmeted and it looks like it has an imperial mantle, which makes me think of CONSTANTINOPOLIS coins

 

thanks thats amazing it looks identical, what years would this coin date from?

regards

 

VRBS ROMA coins also have a similar bust, lacking the spear over shoulder and non laureate helmet; but I am partial to Constantinopolis coins, so I always think of them first. Both types were initially struck to commemorate the foundation of Constantinople in A.D. 330.

 

it looks like it could be the first pictured coin you posted in the reply, were these coins only minted in 330 ad?

 

i have posted another unknown roman coin on the ancient coin forum

 

they were minted for about 10 years.

I have a page about these coins--
