Copper alloy coin. Nummus of the House of Constantine (306-361), probably of Constantius II (323-361) Fallen Horseman issue of 355-361, Reece period 18, albeit on a larger flan than a number of accompanying and possibly related coins from the same field. The obverse seems irregular, the reverse of better style but with comparable eccentric lettering.
