VF, dark grayish-brown patina with some deposits.
From the Zachary "Beast" Beasley Collection of Camp Gates.
Unrecorded mint mark series lacking the S-F in the fields and using a Greek officina letter which is otherwise unrecorded as well. The fact that this lot and the previous lot were struck from different dies suggests that this is indeed an official issue. RIC pg. 268, note 312 records and example from officina D struck for Constantius.
