G'day peeps!
I am trying to catalogue my Roman coins I bought about 10 years ago just for the fun of it. They are in low grades, so it's hard to make out most of the legend. I believe it's Constantius, but more than that I cannot say, and will therefore need your help.

If there's a Numista listing it's always a plus! :)



Diameter about 17 mm.
Yes, that's Constantius. Reverse inscription is "Gloria Exercitus," which means +/- glorious army. Pretty common type, I am having a little trouble with the mint mark, which is the 4 letters at the bottom of the reverse.
I believe I've written down the mint mark as SMNS, but I can't vouch for that it's 100% accurate. Could it make sense?
It does. It is Constantius II, Gloria Exercitus, SMNS (Nicomedia mint, 2nd officina) RIC VII 191,S. This one in Numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces112174.html

When in doubt, you can check wildwinds, an invaluable resource: https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/constantius_II/t.html
Presidinte, I could not have said it better.

The officina looks like an A.
