Unknown Constantine

[a]

Hi all,

The portrait on obverse looks as Constantine I, although the inscription is out of the flan. But I can't recognize the reverse type.

The coin's size is 13mm, weight 1.5g.

Please help me,

It could be a barbarous imitation of the GLORIA ROMANORVM issue (RIC VII.23) featuring Roma enthroned brandishing a long scepter, though her scepter is generally transverse and not vertical as it is here.

This is the SECURITAS REI PUB or REIP issue from Rome, 337-240, issued for Constantius II and Constans, with several different mint marks (RIC VIII Rome 6ff.); rev. type Securitas facing, legs crossed and head turned right, with sceptre and leaning on column.

I think it is Constans Securitas like this one. [DEAD LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN]
Probably someone beat me to it...

Thanks,

It looks similar. I also think that this is Constans.
