Mystery Roman Imperial #3

[Kim Stallings]

To complete the hat trick tonight (sorry, I miss NHL Hockey...) here is a vows coin although I am not actually sure whose. My guess would be Constantine I "The Great".

Pretty nice condition, is that "SNANI" I see on the reverse?

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

I'm not a specialist of Constantinus' familly, but it seems to be CONSTANTIUS II.

Fred -

I did a little more research and while it may well be a CONSTANTIUS II I still think it is probably a Constantine I "The Great", if only because of the reverse inscription. I wish I could find a SNANI reference somewhere.

Regards!

Hello Kim!
Fred is right. This is Constantius II, RIC VIII, p. 521, 113
the mint mark is SMAN[Gamma]I. It was minted in 347-348 AD the weight should be about 1.65 g. and the diameter ~ 15-16 mm

Well, that will teach me to doubt the experts! :p

Hope you had a good time in NYC last weekend and thanks again for the useful info.

Regards!
