Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 7:06 pm Enough detail is on this coin so that it can be identified as being Constantius II with "AQS" beneath the fallen horseman reverse design. However, I do not see an RIC variety on wildwinds that contains an "M" on the obverse to the left of the bust. Is this possibly a rather oddly formed "A"? Or am I missing something? Thanks!

But not for the reason you gave - the M behind is listed by Helvetica, but the horseman isn't listed as clutching in that case - perhaps its a mule? Perhaps I'm blind and he is reaching back?

Yeah, it does appear that the fallen horseman is clutching, yet there does appear to be a vertical line of some sort extending towards to soldier. But this may not be the horseman's arm.
