Its a nice one indeed. Pity about the bit where the metal shows through. Odd that its Aurichalcum.
Constantine II. AE. London. 321-322 AD.
CONSTANTI-NVS IVN NC, helmeted, cuirassed bust left.
BEATA TRAN-QVILLITAS, large globe on an altar inscribed VOT / IS / XX
in three lines, with pattern on globe imitating lines of latitude
and longitude; three stars above.
Mintmark: PLON
This type is sought after because of the helmet and mint, but its not really that rare. I've cleaned one myself.
