    Unknown Semis type coin. Weight is 1.23 grams. Diameter is around 16 mm. There is light chipping and heavy corrosion. The obverse shows a (Laurette?) bust and the reverse shows a figure on top of a stand of sorts. Can anyone guide me to anything that could possibly identify with this? 32041200_Unknown.png 32041216_Unknown.png

    Maybe... Posthumous Constantine the great coin... 337-340s-ish. Probably Alexandria... those are common and I think I see “SMA...” in the ex.

    Looks to be one of those types. Mine has Constantine in a quadriga, hand of god reaching down. Uncleaned hoard coin, obtained 2015.
