I have had this coin for quite awhile. I remember picking it up because I thought it was cool, but squirreled it away and just recently got to thinking about it again. I don't really know much more than Constantine appears on the obverse. Any help is appreciated. I doubt it is all that valuable, I just hope that it's real and not a fake. It's about the size of a US dime.

A common series for Constantine I, issued before he made war against his son-in-law, Licinius I.
Below is an example of this type:

Thanks for the info and the links! It appears, at least to me, to be a variation of RIC 54. It's cool to get an idea of how old it might be!
