I got this coin as part of my inheritance when my Grandfather died. I don't really collect ancients, so I don't know how to identify this coin. The diameter of this coin is about 15mm and the weight is 1.08 grams. Please help, thank you.

Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, this was the best shot I could take.

Hmm... what do the letters on the left of the side with the head spell out? I bet that'll give you a good bit of info :)

Unfortunately, I can't make out what the letters are; But from the little amount I can see, I'm thinking this coin is depicting one of the Constantius as Caesar. Not sure which one. Also forgot to add; if possible, can you tell me the condition, and the estimated value of this coin?

Somebody facing right - that's all I got
You could search the word "DELMATIUS" - see what you come up with

You have a Constantius II, Gloria Exercitus type. He is depicted as augustus (inscription ends with P F AVG). Possibly minted in Trier (inscription at bottom of reverse may begin with TR, which is consistent with Trier). There are several subtypes, cannot say more specifically. Here is one possibility: https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric....108?lang=en

With the coin too worn to make a definite attribution, it is not worth too much, a couple of dollars perhaps.
