Yes, your coin was issued by Constantine I. It is part of a two-coin commemorative issue marking the consecration of Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire in AD 330. One type, inscribed CONSTANTINOPOLIS featured a bust of the city goddess on the obverse and on the reverse, Victory standing on the prow of a galley. The second type, such as your coin, honors the the city of Rome as the ancient capital. The obverse is inscribed VRBS ROMA (City of Rome), depicting a bust of the goddess Roma. On the reverse are Rome's founders Romulus and Remus, suckled by the she-wolf Rhea. The mint mark TRP(dot) indicates that your coin was struck at TReveri, modern Trier in Germany, in the first (Prima) workshop. It is interesting to note that on the two coins, Constantinopolis holds the imperial scepter while Roma does not.
