Hello again !
Just bought this one today.
It is an exact obverse die match to my last coin
According to the seller, he said that this one was struck after my first one due to the very worn G on the obverse, and apparently the reverse die had been changed by this time also.

And for comparison.

Die match - always makes you wonder if the coin might be from the ancient Shanghai mint.





Glad you are happy with them.

With all the nice coins you have Sky I am really surprised you don't have a Siliqua.

Fascinating to see a coin that bears witness to the decisions made by men so many centuries ago, in this case, changing the reverse die.

Nice duo!

You must love "Everybody Loves Raymond" - when Ray Romano is stupefied, he just looks like those portraits.

Portraits can get much worse.
Here is an expensive example on VCOINS
It looks like Constantius needs to use the restroom
