    Constantius II FEL TEMP falling horseman 17.5 mm; 3.74 gm

    Can't attribute this properly without a legible mintmark. What mint is this? This is the best photo I could get:

    First letter is S. Second could be R, H or M. then there's a bit of a space and a wierd symbol (wreath?) followed by an illegible letter.

    Here's a close-up of the mint mark itself:

    Whats the obv. like? Can you post a pic?

    Hard to to, but if the first letter is an S and the second a M, then the mint could be either Cycizcus, Nicomedia or Heraclea (SMKA, SMNA, SMKA for example)

    BTW If I had to guess I'd say Cyzicus.

    I agree that it's Cyzicus.

    Thanks, guys. I was wondering if that strange mark was a K. The final letter looks like Δ. So, SMKΔ.

    The reverse legend break appears to be FEL TEMP R-EPARATIO.

    I'm going with RIC 108 on this one.
