    I`m not good in Roman coinage - could you help to identify this coin?
    Inscriptions: OBV: FP IMP AUG / REV: CONS.

    That's what it is alright.Like this one.I can't tell the mint but these commonly sell for $10-25 depending on condition.The one in my picture sold for $15.50 and it' pretty nice.They're called Divus Constantine (the Great) because they were minted after his death.That's also him on the 4-horse chariot or quadriga being pulled up from the top by a giant hand of God....presumably to heaven...or wherever.He was the first Christian emperor but his methods were a bit un-Christianlike so who knows?

    If it has 'cons' on the rev below the horses and chariot it is constantinople mint.
