It is indeed Constantine II:
Arles Mint, Constantine II AE Follis.
CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB CAES, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right
CLARITAS REIPVB, Sol standing facing, head left, chlamys across left shoulder, right hand raised, holding globe in left.
Mintmark S star-in-crescent A.
RIC VII Arles 156; Sear 17101.
Actually quite an uncommon type for the 4th century compared to the usual types, but still common in the grand scheme of things. I don't see any bronze disease, just a bit of encrustation. With its patina removed and that encrustation, it isn't worth very much, I'm afraid, probably $5. Someone might take a shine to the unusual mintmark and push it up to $10.

The mint is Arelate, now known as Arles, France.
