One of my favorite coins  I believe it's Constans. Not sure. I've shared this one before; although it's been awhile.   swcoin.ecrater.com

I love this example. I don't think I have ever seen such a distinct double strike showing both busts so clearly!

No doubt that it's double struck. I really love this coin.

Its not Constans...its either Valens or Valentinian (SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE), id be inclined to say Valentinian. Nice example of a double strike - I have one of valentinian, but its no where near as good or clear

Thank you everyone :-) I got it on ebay a few years back for next to nothing. I'm surprised the bidding didn't go higher. swcoin.ecrater.com
