You can search on this website https://numismatics.org/ocre/identify

It looks like the obverse legend is CONSTANTI-(N)VS MAX AVG and the reverse is GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, so if you search for a bronze coin with CONSTANT* and GLO* and then afterwards further refine the 'Keyword search' with 'two standards', you will get a list of possible coins. It's still quite long, and the mintmark beginning with SM doesn't help much as a lot of mints start with SM, but at least you can also filter out Arelate and Lugdunum https://finds.org.uk/romancoins/art...entury-mints

It looks, though, like the emperor has a rosette diadem (not pearl), so put that in the Keyword search too. That should leave you about 40 coins to look through.

The mintmark has a dot before the S, which will be very important to identification, as there only seem to be 4 coins with dot-SM?A and only 2 with also no dot at the end.

Hello friend. I believe the mintmark is SMNA. I tried using a lens to zoom, see if you agree with me.
