Here are some small Ancient coin's, they must use these for change...  Constantine coin..? left coin..11mm x 1.31 gm. rev. looks like two winged men w/standard in the middle. they have some nice detail for such a small coin...  coin two 8x10 mm x 1.46 gm rev. two men w/ standard...  still working on cleaning them, might get more detail....

Constantine I didn't produce coins this small that I'm aware of. Initially, I thought the first coin might be Procopius, but the reverse doesn't match up to any Procopius coins. I have a Constantine II coin that is 14mm. The smallest I've ever seen from this emperor. I think they are late Roman Imperials for sure.

The coin on the left looks like it could be a constantius II.

The right one might be Constans.

My best guess is the one one the left is Constantius II as jessvc1 has indicated. Without the mintmark, I'm afraid I can't narrow it done much more than that. Perhaps someone with more knowledge on portrait types can narrow it more. The second coin on the right I have no idea.

The left is 2 soldiers/one standard of Constantius II. Right looks like two victories facing which could be Constantius II or Constans. The mintmark of the left coin is on flan but too rough to read on the photo.

Thank you guy's, I have 10 to 12 of these in the 10mmm or less size... ... Now here's one a little different. 10mmm x 1.24gm..small, has a chi-rho standard..... looks like HSIS mint mark...very nice detail for its size...   |

Love the Chi-Rho on the standard in your last picture! I agree with the HSIS, but it looks like there could be something else after the second S. Perhaps a dot (I don't think these coins had stars on them).

Could that be an ASIS instead of an HSIS?

I would think ASIS or DeltaSIS. I know of no HSIS

I think Doug pointed out in another thread that many times the "A" is not closed at the top as we might want to see. My best guess is that it is ASIS

 here's a picture of an constantius ii ASIS coin, it does look quite a bit like an H...  i think your coin is a constans, and I can't find any HSIS for him either, at least of this coin type. those are cleaning up nice by the way! Edited by chrsmat71

awesome coins ...
Hey, I'm no coin-God, but I'm pretty sure that the two coins on the LHS are probably some sorta Roman coin thingy or other ... and ummm, the coin on the far RHS is probably a slug, or a US Dime?
