<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 6453591, member: 82549"]Looks like it might be a commemorative coin of Helena (A.D. 324 - 330?), minted by her grandsons (Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans) around 337-340. If so, the reverse would be PAX PV-BLICA, Pax standing left, holding branch downward in right hand and traverse scepter in left, like on the coin in this photo from Wildwinds:</p><p><a href="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/helena/_constantinople_RIC_VIII_048.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/helena/_constantinople_RIC_VIII_048.jpg" rel="nofollow">[ATTACH=full]1257209[/ATTACH]</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin looks like it would clean up pretty nicely.
