Here's a website with info on these types. You might be able to find yours there. http://rg.ancients.info/constantine/Sol_other.html Report this Post to the Staff

I'd have guessed that this coin was probably a barbarous imitation at first glance, and I had the impression that Rome mint was better than most others in terms of quality, but I'm not sure whether (and/or to which extent) that was still true in Constantine's period, so I can't rule out this being still within plausible range for a Rome production.
