Just one of Constans and Gallus > I was really happy to find this one. Despite the patina on the reverse, it's a pretty decent coin. Not easy to find either.

All great coins! The Hut coin is sweet, and the Antioch fh is awesome. I was quite surprised to find a Lyons Constans FH. I've only seen a few for sale, then again I could have said the same for Siscia at one time. Still, I'm off to go bury it for safe keeping ^_^.
This coin is so close in style of the portrait it could be by the same engraver as your second coin. The later issues of C II are easier to get in better condition By the way it is the headgear on the obverse that makes these different
I'll toss this one in here too, no need to make another topic for it.
