Well, after a few days of cleaning and just getting into the Ancients a few days back, I have made my first discovery without assistance! LOL

My Constantinus II, son of Constantine the Great
(still some cleaning needed)



A-Thrilling-Day!

Woohoo!

Does the obverse legend have something like "CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C" or "CONSTAN-TINVS AVG" ?

Obverse still needs some cleaning to see the legend clearer.

Thanks, everyone! I agree with bobby, but it is all a little overwhelming right now. But, every coin is like a treasure hunt. (I knew I should have paid more attention in history and mythology classes) LOL

Masis: The Obverse is not as clear. It looks liket he final three letters are AVG. I have to hold the coin to the light, just right, to see the portrait.
