This is a fairly rare type first minted under the authority of Vetranio (Siscia 293), but also struck two other times, when Gallus (Siscia 355) and then Julian II (Siscia 386) became Caesar.  We can't be certain that this type was even struck for Constantius II each time, but we have to assume they were; and accordingly, this coin has three RIC numbers.

I was cleaning out some folders and found this random picture of a Constantius Gallus example.
