paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/17/2017 12:35 am Pretty sure this one is a Constantinopolis commemorative with winged Victory reverse & shield. Appears to be SIS in exergue (Siscia?) or even SLG perhaps. Obverse is helmeted bust left with sword and cloak. 14mm and 1.3g in weight.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/17/2017 01:39 am I'm guessing it's this one: A.D. 334-5 17mm 2.0gm Obv. CONSTAN-TINOPOLIS laureate, helmeted bust looking up to Heaven, wearing imperial mantle, holding scepter. Rev. Victory stg. on prow, holding long scepter in r. hand, and resting l. hand on shield. in ex. dot BSIS dot RIC VII Siscia 241 Unlisted for "eyes to heavens" bust *with weight and diameter loss But, this isn't my area. I do believe it's ·BSIS· in ex. so, Siscia.
