Only trick is to get the real, original Constantine II,

He was Constantine I. His son was Constantine II. But you're right. It is easy to get your hands on bronze coins from his reign. Cool stuff.

I did mean Constantine I—I don’t know that extra I got in there! I used to order 3rd and 4th century Roman coins for my jr high students to clean and discover what had been hidden under the dirt for the last 16 centuries. Some of them really enjoyed it. The ones going through Catechism thought holding a real Constantine coin was pretty cool, since they were learning about him in church.
