Comment
RIC VIII 96 and RIC VIII 104 are same coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Constantius II with a distinctive "ponytail" hairstyle on the obverse (front side), which was a departure from the traditional Roman imperial hairstyle and was seen as a sign of his Christian faith.
