<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3921108, member: 19463"]Gsimonel covered it well but I believe Gallus died before this reverse was issued. The coin is common for Constantius II and Gallus' replacement Julian II. The coin was issued from several mints as distinguished by the letters under the ground line on the reverse (termed "in exergue"). This is a common coin. To be worth anything, collectors would expect a clear mintmark and decent details.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It will be rare to find anyone with something nice to say about Constantius II.
