Comment
For the Trier workshop, this reverse is normally associated with Emperor Constant I or, less frequently, Magnentius.Matched with Constantius II, it therefore appears to be quite rare.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the phrase "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" on the galley, which translates to "Happy Time Restoration." This suggests that the coin was issued during a time of renewal or restoration in the Roman Empire, possibly in response to a period of turmoil or unrest. The use of this phrase on the coin may indicate that the Roman government was attempting to promote a sense of optimism and renewal among its citizens.
