That's a nice coin! I have a similar one for Constantine that's a little rougher and bent.

Nice coin, but that's actually a different issue - captive from a different war!
It's RIC VII Aquileia 1, dating to 316-317 AD after Constantine's first civil war with Licinius. The simplest way to tell the difference is by the "IMP" legend, but also bust style.
