CONSTANTIUS II, (A.D. 337-361), AE centenionalis, Siscia mint, issued A.D. 350, (4.48 g), obv. diademed bust draped and cuirassed of Constantius to right, around D N CONSTAN TIVS P F AVG, rev. emperor standing left in military attire, holding labarum and spear, crowned by Victory, labarum with 'chi-rho' on banner, around HOC SIGNO VICTOR ERIS, in exergue .ESIS., (S.18203, RIC 286). Attractive brown, extremely fine, rare in this condition with collector's ticket.

This type was issued under the stop-gap emperor Vetranio who opposed Magnentius' eastern advance before abdicating in favour of Constantius II on 25 December A.D.350. The reverse alludes to Constantine's vision before his victory over Magnentius in 312.
