<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2446666, member: 19463&quot;]This is the last type issued by Constantius II before his death in 361 AD.&nbsp; The reverse reads SPES REIPVBLICE.&nbsp; They were issued by several mints both by Constantius II who was shown with laurel wreath on the portrait and his Caesar Julian II who is shown bare headed so you need no obverse legend to make the call between them. It was DNCONSTAN TIVSPFAVG.&nbsp; I&#039;ll show a coin of Julian II with bare head and from Cyzicus mint so the mintmark is different as is the style. The reverse type is the same.&nbsp; These are generally scrappy little coins.&nbsp; Full legend examples are not all that easy to find.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]510835[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
