[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 8647090, member: 87809"]Just received this Constantius II follis (or nummus); the banner on the reverse has the Chi-Rho symbol. Didn't have any coin with this symbol; finally, I have one:) The mint mark is not clear, it could either be BSIS or ΓSIS, but both have the same RIC number. Please share your Constantius II, Chi-Rho coins or anything relevant.
