Note from Sear, p. 206: The semissis and tremissis have the same legends and types as those of Constantine IV. No definite distinction can be made between them, but as a general rule those of Constans are better engraved and of neater production, whilst those of his son tend to be of cruder style, lower relief and inferior workmanship. -
