I reviewed the above Campgate list, Please tell me if I am wrong with the first 2 letters S C next letter is an R or A or maybe H and can't make out the last letter, however the list has nothing to correlate with these combinations...?

 

The mintmark on your coin has been oddly struck. The initial S is not continuous, but looks like an upper half and a lower curve jammed together, hinting at a slight double strike. The third character of the mm presents to my eye as an "H" which for position would indicate Heraclea if we could establish that it is indeed an H. The final letter looks like the top half of an epsilon, which would be consistent for what we might expect from Heraclea, since the officina mark would then be expected in this position. Finally, there is a dot in the left field situated between the "V I" of PROVIDENTIAE. All of this, together with the left facing bust of Constantius II, would work for RIC VII Heraclea 97, officina <epsilon> (5). Any other candidate needs to match as well on these points.

 

If I get time I'll check it out this weekend...But I'm sure one of the Roman experts here will be able to help.....The pellet in the left field of the reverse might help
a bit?...AlSo I'm not sure if the first letter is S?

edit...OOps sorry....I'm just too slow....lrbguy knows his stuff....looks good..
