Vetranio legend, portrait erroneously Constantius II. 350 AD. Centenionalis, 4.66g (5h). Siscia, . Obv: D N VETRA - ΝIO P F AVG Bust of Constantius II right, unbearded, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed, seen from front; star before portrait, A behind. Rx: CONCORDI[A] - MILITVM Emperor standing left, with star above his head, holding two standards topped by Chi Rho banners, .ΔSIS. in exergue, A in left field. Cf. RIC 285 and Cohen 1. By mistake, the legend of Vetranio was here engraved around a portrait of Constantius II: this unbearded and pearl-diademed portrait cannot depict Vetranio, who was otherwise always bearded and laureate in this issue.
