It is a commemorative issue from Constantine the Great.

Obv:- CONSTANTINOPOLIS, Helmeted and laureate Constantinopolis bust left
Rev:- No Legend, Victory standing left on prow of a galley, holding transverse spear across her body and shield

It was produced at a number of mints and without being able to see the letters in exe. it will be difficult to narrow the mint down.

Here are a few from my collection as examples:-

Constantinople:-
