I must first apologize for these photos which are very poor at best. I do NOT collect ancient coins but I have been asked by a friend if I can attribute this. I tried looking for these coins but they appear to be varying by the hundreds of types for this ruler/period. One thing that appears different is the tassels behind the head, curling up and down. Any help is appreciated. Value?

The coin appears to be the emperor Constans, I can't make out to reverse image to figure out which one.

Agree, definitely Constans.

The reverse is the GLORIA EXCERCITVS type with one standard between two soldiers. I can't make out the mint mark.

Off to the eye doctor now, I think I just went blind
