That's a beautiful portrait. Very distinctive. Don't think I've seen many or any here.

Well that was quick  It's a very nice strike, great condition. A very young-looking Constantine. From wildwinds.  Quote: Constantine I as Caesar, AE Follis, Trier, 5.85 gr, 24.64 mm. 307 AD.
Obv: FL VAL CONSTANTINVS NOB C, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right, seen from the back. Rev: GENIO-POP ROM, Genius standing left, tower on head, loins draped, holding patera and cornucopiae.
S-C across fields. Mintmark PTR.

Gonna go with Crispus again. If I keep guessing him, eventually I should be right.
Seriously though, this emperor does have a delicate nose and features, so it's a reasonable guess.
