I came across this little one recently. Please help identify. Coin diameter is just under 2 cm. Please pardon the iPhone photos; are better photos needed?

Thanks much!

You have a Late Roman Bronze (LRB) of what appears to be of Constantius Gallus Caesar from 351-354 AD. The reverse is very worn but I can just make out what looks like the Fallen Horseman reverse. These coins are the most common of ancient coins. Based on condition your coin is worth a buck or two.

Here are some that you can compare your coin to. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...allus/t.html

The figure looks like there is an "H" or Roman numeral 2 behind the upper neck as opposed to the Delta in some of the linked photos? Any significance to this?

I think that on the obverse you can make out a slight 'DN IULI', so it might be Julian II instead.

You could be right I could just make out the D and the bust details but no other letters.

It is just the 'V' just above the 2 on the ruler that really jumps out. This is a tough one.
