I think that it is official. Lots of the anepigraphic coins have cruder busts and sloppy legends. The size and weight are also good.

Could be an imitation? Lettering is uneven and bust style is a bit crude to my eye

this coin has a workshop not listed in RIC. It sold for quite a price also-- £1,100 in the latest Roma auction...quite a bump from 180 euros in a Sol auction in 2023.

Not the best condition, but an interesting type that is fairly rare.

Ӕ follis 28mm 8.0g
CONSTANTINVS NOB CAES; Laureate, helmeted and cuirassed bust right, pointing spear downwards with right hand, holding two spears and shield with left.
VIRTVS AVGG ET CAESS N N; Mars, helmeted, advancing right and holding spear and trophy
In ex. AQΓ
RIC VI Aquileia 98b


here is a nicer example for comparison that looks like a die match
