So I stumbled across this gem in a pile of dirty dirty ancients recently. I noticed the reverse was not one I commonly see from the 4th century AE3's I'm used to.

I'm still slowly working on the bust, its pretty caked on

But since this is this "kings" only coin essentially, Here is a picture of the reverse.

Hanniballianus was a relative of Constantine and was given domain of a small small province of Ponitca. Oddly enough he was considered the King of this region, a title not often bestowed in this era. Once Constantine died, he was removed from his remote power by descendants of Constantine.

RIC 5

Obverse is FL HANNIBALLIANO REGI
Reverse is SECURITAS PVBLICA
Minted in Constantinople, with the Mint mark of CONSS
The reverse depicts the river god Euphrates lying right, holding a scepter.

Overall this is a promising little bronze once the cleaning is complete.

Well that is a nice surprise from a junk lot! I have seen a few at auction recently, but usually outside of my price range. Good luck with the cleaning and be sure to post pics as you make progress
Rest in Peace
