Roman coin - Is it Constantine?

Hi,

I have this coin which I believe is Roman.

I have been told it is Constantine the Great and also it may be commemorative coin of his.

I would be grateful for any comments.

Sorry about the quality of the pic.

It's definitely a commem, but not necessarily Constantine the Great (though probably is) - it looks like one of the coins issued 330-335 AD celebrating Constantinople becoming twin capital of the Empire with Rome. Obverse legend is almost certainly CONSTANTINOPOLIS

It's in a nice condition, around VF I'd say.

Thanks for that Peck.

Any idea what it would be worth?

Not a huge amount, sadly (issued in large numbers). Somewhere between £10 - £20. I'd be tempted to keep it as an interesting piece.
