This guy was and is chewed up. I was able to get an O to show up on the obverse, but that was it. I am pretty sure of the coin type but just went with a common version.

 
O: DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG Emperor, facing r., pearl diadem, draped and cuirassed
R: SPES REI-PVLICE. Emperor, helmeted and in military dress, stg. l., holding globe and spear.
17mm 1.66g. RIC VIII Siscia 398
355-361 A.D.

Constans
O: CONSTAN-S P F AVG, emperor facing r., pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed
R: VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN. Two Victories stg. facing one another, each holding wreath and palm, palm branch upright in center.
Ex. Unknown (ASIS)
17mm 1.30g RIC VIII Siscia 196 340-348 A.D.

(I am sticking to this attrib just on size alone, all of the others of this type (but one) were 15-16mm standard, the Siscia 196 is the only one that I could find that was 16-17 mm standard, so through the process of elimination...)

**note** Don't the Victories look as if they are playing tennis?
