:hello:

The reverse is not very clear in the picture :icon_scratch: but it looks like a coin of Jovian :P

Looks like Constantius II with Obv showing DN CONST and an A behind bust like the obverse for an AQUILEIA mint. The Reverse is probably Soldier Spearing Fallen Horseman which would make coin a RIC VIII 193.

'Constantius II Æ3. 352-355 AD. D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right, A behind / FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier spearing falling enemy horseman, who is bare-headed (usually hair straight up), reaching backwards. LXXII in left field, S in centre, AQP to AQT in ex. '

Do you know what the letter is behind the bust :icon_scratch: there are a lot of second, and third century coins, that have a very similar bust :dontknow: the letter might help us to nail it :icon_thumleft:
