Description

★ Extremely Rare — In the Name of Constantius II ★

CONSTANTIUS II (337-361). Ae. Antioch.

Obv: D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG.
Veiled head of Divus Constantine right.
Rev: VN - MR / SMANB.
Divus Constantine, veiled and togate, standing right.

RIC 112 var. (in the name of Divus Constantine).

This type is generally encountered as a divus issue for Constantine. On this specimen, however, the obverse is clearly in the name of Constantius, rather than the expected "DV CONSTANTINVS PT AVGG." Extremely rare and interesting.

Condition: Very fine.

Weight: 1.68 g.
Diameter: 15 mm.
