From a discussion on Forvm Ancient Coins. Constantius Gallus AE2, 24mm. Obverse legend is DNCONSTANTI-VSNOBCAES. Rev: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, Gallus holding labarum in his left hand and Victory in his right, "spurning" a captive. Gamma in left field, star right. Mintmark is star TS Delta (or A) dot (179). Rated Scarce RIC VIII Thessalonica 179 (unlisted officina if A) These were only made in Thessalonica and there are 4 different types of them (2 different with NOB CAES but Thess 170 had TS Epsilon and 2 different with DN CONSTAN-TIVS PF AVG David Sear commented: "I have taken a look at your coin of Constantius Gallus and it would certainly seem to coincide with RIC 179 except for the missing star preceding the mint name. The mint mark TS/officina/pellet appears to be unrecorded and one is tempted to suspect that the omission of the star is a die-engraver's error. Otherwise, it would represent a previously unknown issue which is certainly possible given the rarity of the type for Gallus. Incidentally, I believe the officina letter is probably beta rather than alpha. If you compare it with the "A"s in the obverse and reverse legends you will find that they have flat tops while the officina letter has a curved top. I hope this is of some help to you. Sincerely, David R. Sear" So I've either got an unlisted officina for RIC 179 or else a previously unknown issue. Contributed by John Knisely, October, 2003.
