A nice Beata with he consular robe reverse. This type, from the same mint and officina (perhaps the same celator), was one of the first coins I cleaned.

How would you describe that reverse? I think one of the coins I cleaned had something similar but I haven't gotten around to attributing it yet. Altar with star?

Reverse is BEATA TRANQVILLITAS - Altar inscribed VO - TIS - XX, surmounted by a celestial globe, 3 stars above.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure mine had a different obverse but that should help get me on the right track.

Nice reverse image with a little 3D effect on the altar. It looks like CONSTANTINUS IUN NOB C on the obverse legend?

Very nice. RIC VII #328 for Trier officina 1. I have not seen Constantine II in the trabea before. All examples of this bust type (K3) in RIC VII for Trier/Treveri are rated as R5, so even adjusting for finds since 1966, this is a very scarce item.
