Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A copper-alloy nummus of the House of Constantine dating to the period AD 307-361. Probably PROVIDENTIAE AVGG or PROVIDENTIAE CAESS, depicting camp-gate with two towers and star above. Mint unknown.

A large break in the coin corresponding to 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock on the obverse and severe surface wear has made a full identification of this coin difficult.
