I think it might be Constantius II, I like these large Chi-Rho coins.

Thanks Masis, Constantius II it is. The surface is rippled under the scope, silvered but covered in green patina. 5.10g 22mm.

A really nice, rare find, regardless of its condition.
Normally the big "Chi Rho" reverse is of Magnentius or his brother Decentius.
Even in this condition we can see the gracileness of it compared to the pudgy busts of Magnentius and his bro.
