    One of a recent haul of coins to add to the FTR hoard.

    Constantius Gallus - AE2
    Obv:- D N CONSTANTIVS IVN NBO(sic) C, Bare headed draped & cuirassed bust right; A
    Rev:– FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor standing left on galley, holding Victory on globe and labarum; Victory behind, steering galley
    Minted in Siscia (III | * // BSIS)
    Reference:– RIC VIII Siscia 329 var (would be Common; obverse legend error NBO for NOB)

    5.16 gms. 23.42 mm. 180 degrees

    On top of the legend error it fills a gap for me and is a nice quiality coin too with eye appeal.

    Very attractive in many aspects: well centered, EF, nice patina and of course, the error of engraving. A great eye appeal!
