I the these two Constantius II coins I attributed a long time ago as coming from the same mint. Obviously that is wrong.

The first coin I believe I am right when I attribute it as Sirmium RIC VIII 86 or 90: AE3. 355-361 AD. DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right / SPES REIPVBLICE. Emperor standing left leaning on sceptre & holding globe, -S- to left.

The second coin is very similar with at least two obvious differences. First, there is no S in the field on the reverse. But also the bust types are different enough to make me wonder where it may have been struck besides Sirmium. Any ideas?

I think Antioch. It looks like the remaining half of the letters in the mintmark are ANT, but I could be mistaken.

They look too different to come from the same mint. Can't make out enough of the MM on the second coin to be sure, it could be Antioch.
