Could not find a close enough match for this in Sear, VanMeter, Vagi or
Wildwinds:
IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG
Helmeted bust left, wearing imperial mantle and holding spear over right
shoulder.
VICT * LAETAE PRINC PERP
Two Victories resting shield, inscribed VOT PR, on alter.
Alpha SIS * in Exergue

I realize with obverse legend, it could also be Constantine II or III, but
everything I've seen reads "VICTORIAE" with bust "right" and it doesn't look
like any of them.
Forest for the trees, or is this a possible rarity?
Thanks!
