Alas, the coin at left is the only "legible" one and even then the legend is gone from corrosion it seems.
The bust type is "laurel and rosette diademed, draped and cuirassed" (LROSDC).
The banner has the "Chi-Rho" on it.

Other than Constantine I and II, there are examples with the "LROSDC bust and 1 standard with Chi-Rho on Banner" for Constans of the Lyon mint.
But there are many examples with the above mentioned parameters for Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans of the Siscia mint.
An example below for Constans of the Siscia mint:

So the probability is that the mint is Siscia but which Emperor?
