CroftsCoins,
Nice coin. Is there a background story?

Very nice indeed. I have quite a few from this series. This is probably my best from the Antioch mint.

Wow! That is an amazing amount of detail on that coin, CroftsCoins! maridvnvm, yours is not bad either.

Here's another Constantius II. A maiorina, minted in Trier 348-350.

Welcome to CCF! Nice coins all! Great detail. Mine not as good condition but I'll join in:

Constantius II Sisica AE, HOC SIGNO VICTOR ERIS.

Constantius II Aquileia AE, soldier spearing fallen horseman with Chi-Rho in field, scarce.

Thanks everybody! To answer @john1 's question, yes there is a back story! When I first started collecting ancients in 2018 I bought a group lot of low grade LRB's and this exact coin was among them albiet barely identifiable. Long story short that's when my affinity for Constantius ii began. A few months later I came across the example above and purchased it right away, I was amazed at the intricate detail! 5 years later and this is still one of my favorite bronzes.

@ livingwater I have the Hoc Signo from siscia as well! Not as nice as yours though

@erafjel now that's is a beauty I would love to own! I've been searching forever for a decent example and have not found one yet.. the galley type seems to be common for Constans but not so for Constantius ii.

@maridvnvm that's the nicest example from antioch I've seen besides my own!!! Yours has silvering to boot, beauty example congratulations!!

This is my best "clutching" type

This Constantius Gallus would have been nice if not for the uneven strike
