This is a group I just bought, 18 coins and only one side of 9 shown. Almost always disappointing, but still a little fun. Kind of like a scratch off lottery ticket :D
ROMAN. Imperial. Lot of eighteen (18) Æ Folles. Includes: Licinius I // Licinius II // Constantine I (9) // Crispus (2) // Constantine II (4) // Constantius II. Fine to Good VF. LOT SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS. Eighteen (18) coins in lot.
Well, good luck - you may need it! ;)
The London one at center at least offers the possibility of a less common reverse (seems to be PLN with star left or right).
I'm guessing bottom right is a Trier Sarmatia.
The top Lyons one is most likely Sol, but Marti or Prinicipi would be nice.
The smaller one to right of center is stumping me ... looks vaguely western c.316 AD. Based on the short legend could be London, but style doesn't seem right. What are you guessing ?

I would say a Constantine II nummus, maybe from Arles mint. GE?

I agree the style looks a bit like Arles, but the size of the coin seems more like GE2 than GE1 (C2 AVG). Maybe unofficial ?
My first impression was unofficial...I'll have them in a few days and post the reverse also.
I'm going with unofficial VOT type, copying Trier or Arles.
