A rich chocolate-brown color and nicely worn (but with a good amount of detail remaining). Overall a good example of a circulated coin IMO. Just had to have it when I found it, especially at the price I got it for.

Obv: CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES
Rev: GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI
ST in ex, Ticinum (this will be my first coin from this city)

27 mm wide

Very nice, nothing wrong with a bit of wear, just think of the Roman hands that once rubbed it

Not a bad coin! Constantius I as Caesar.

Yes, it looks like the coin is worn but I'm also wondering if the reverse has more of a flat strike or whatever you want to call it. Genius looks kind of flat, even with the wear. lol
