RIC VIII Rome 198/204
This type was issued by both Magnentius and Nepotian in the name of Constantius II.
When assigning RIC numbers to these, it is a bit arbitrary since the biggest difference between the issues is size, and there is overlap, i.e. Second series first group (Magnentius) RIC 195- 197 dia. 25- 26mm, second group (Nepotian) RIC 198- 200 dia. 23- 25mm, third group (Magnentius) RIC 204- 205 dia. 22- 24mm. There is likely no actual way to tell these coins apart.
