Constantius II. AD 337-361. Æ Follis (17.5mm, 1.94 g, 4h). Contemporary imitation. Copying an Aquileia mint issue of AD 355-361. Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Helmeted soldier to right, holding spear and shield, spearing fallen horseman on ground to left; shield below to right; M|–//PAQ. Cf. RIC VIII 230; cf. LRBC 938 (all references for official issue). Brown patina, roughness, scratches. Good Fine. Overstruck on an Æ Follis of Constantius II as Caesar. An interesting overstrike of an imitation over an official issue, effectively raising the value of the coin in the marketplace.

From the Joshua Lee Collection. Ex Aventine Numismatics.
