Nice looking constans! Heres a special one - this was one of my first coins (I bought 3 coins, 1 was medieval, 2 were roman). I traded the thing away - it was a constant reminder of the mistakes I made as an amateur (I didnt clean it though, it came that way - I thought it was gold!). I think this one is with forum member Broseph at the moment. Unless he's traded it on - which, I have to say, would make for a fun wild goose chase if I ever want to repatriate it.
