I think we can read (visible letters in bold):

D N ... ... CONSTANTIVS AVG

The "A" looks like an "H", as often. So, I think, Constantius II. I suspect it's a portrait from soon after he took the title of Augustus (= emperor) in 337. If I'm not mistaken his head is normally "longer" in later issues.

Search secvritas on the Wildwinds page. The legend on the reverse being
