Description: | Worn Roman nummus of the House of Constantine. The obverse of the coin is very worn and corroded with no details of the bust or legend visible. The obverse of the coin is also in a degraded condition, however the image of two soldiers holding one standard can be seen. The legend on the obverse is completely worn, however it is likely to have read GLOR IAEXERC ITVS. The mint mark is also unknown due to wear and corrosion. The reverse type dates the coin to 335 to 337AD. The coin was struck in copper alloy, however the surface now has a dull brown-red patina, with the details of the coin design surviving in pale green corrosion. The coin measures 12.42mm in diameter, 1.53mm in thickness and weighs 0.8 grams.
