This Constantius II has a very clear obverse, but the reverse is a bit weak. The mint mark appears to be "THS", but I am not quite sure which mint this would be. Could it be Thessalonica? Thanks!

It says TRS - Trier mint. Pretty difficult to read mintmarks - you can never assume anything with them. Rated Rare. Fancy!

BenByfield- Also, given that this coin is listed as being rare, do you think that it has any notable value? I mean, while I don't expect this coin to be worth a lot, I should hope that I got a good deal on it considering that I paid 2 quid for it.

Fraid no notable value - there are just too may rare coins out there. I'm sure someone would pay more for it, but its not getting you a new house. I have many a 'rare' coin - the only ones worth a premium are scarce emperors, reverses or busts.

You did alright for £2 because its an R1, but id probably stay around 80p for such a coin in bulk. Although,the ones with the wreaths are pretty scarce.
