This FEL TEMP has a Chi-Rho on the reverse in the center. It is in rough condition but is actually fairly rare despite the RIC rating of common.
LXXII is the weight standard (72 to a pound) and also appeared on coins from Siscia. These were issued shortly after Constantius II reclaimed Aquileia from Magnentius.
