Hi again, I can't make out the legend on the obverse, but the ruler facing right with a pearl or laureate diademed.
Reverse: GLOR IAEXERC ITVS
Two soldiers facing each other, holding spears with resting hand on shields, either side of one standard.
Cyzicus mintmark in exergue SMK? possibly Γ or Β
15.5Φ 1.99g
I think the possibilities are limited to Delmatius, Constantine I or II, or Constans

Would appreciate any insight

Cheers

Obverse legend looks to be CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, so Constantine II.

Yes, reverse legend is GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS, Cyzicus officina 3 (SMKΓ)?
Two soldiers with a standard between.

Thank you both, yes I see the legend now.
Looking through Wildwinds and acsearch I can't see a reference for SMK off.3. I'll try ERIC

I probably got the officina letter wrong - it's hard to read on the coin.

This type I believe: https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.7.cyz.123

Officina looks like a B to me, with that edge being a bit more weakly struck than the rest of the coin, but Γ is still a possibility for the type.

Thanks again Tanman, I never thought of OCRE, sometimes I have connectivity issues with that site.
I'm leaning more towards Γ now that it's a possibility.
Thanks again both of you.
