@vic, was this sort of thing pretty uncommon at this time? I'm impressed by the remnant silvering and amazing details, but not sure how impressed I should be about the mule. Thx for teaching me a little bit today!

Yes, official mint product mules are very uncommon. They are also even rarer from Western mints than from Eastern mints.

Here is an official Western mint mule from Trier combining a Constantine II obverse with a reverse for Constantine I (RIC VII Trier 475)
