I'm trying to read the mintmark on a Constantine I coin I recently cleaned. Below are pictures of the mark with three lighting angles.
I suspect it reads " • SMA_? ". Any guesses for the last letter--Q? Thanks for your help!

Here's the whole coin again:

I think you're right--It's SMN_, and the dot beforehand is prominent too.
The last character is unclear, but the more I look, I see a B.
