Procopius Type Set (365-366). Roman emperor (usurper).
More precisely -- Sept. 28, 365 to May 27, 366, according to RIC.

There are only two regular types published in RIC IX, both with legend REPARATIO FEL TEMP and
emperor standing holding standard or spear in right and resting left on shield. They are:
Type 7:  bust left, larger AE3, chi-rho in upper right field.
Type 8:  bust right, smaller AE3, no chi-rho in upper right field.
Since RIC was published a new type has been discovered, Type 8A, with reverse SECVRITAS REIPVB.
 

Type 7, Procopius:  REPARATIO FEL TEMP
Obverse bust of Procopius left
Emperor standing left holding larabrum and resting left on shield, chi-rho in upper right field.
Sometimes with a small uncertain mushroom-shaped object left on the exergual line.

RIC Constantinople 17a.
Con 17a is a variety with "small indeterminate object" at his feet left.
This has a bold example of the object left on the exergual line,
but that does not mean it is clear what it is!

Type 7 is larger and earlier than Type 8 (next) with bust right. Type 7 is "Julian's module," RIC p. 193.

RIC photo: XV.17 (Con 17b).
Con 17a is a minor variety with "small indeterminate object" at his feet left.

RIC Heraclea 8 is listed as "bust left" (i.e. this type, type 7) but is in error. It is really bust right, type 8.
Type 7 and Type 8  are the only regular types of Procopius. Type 8 with bust right is much rarer than Type 7 with bust left. Neither is as rare as they used to be. Many are coming out of the Balkans and they are now only "scarce," no longer rare. Type 7 can be found (rarely) with full flan in high grade, but Type 8 can not. It regularly suffers from chipped flans (brittle metal?) and crowded types.

RIC lists no coins of Procopius from Antioch.
RIC lists AE2 and AE1 extremely rare types of Procopius with this legend (Table 1A).

RIC Constantinople 19

"Valentinian's module"  [RIC], smaller and later than Type 7.

RIC photos: none of these, but p. 215 has a note on a possible "CONST" mm of Arelate, plate XV.18. It is probably just one of these CONSA-Z varieties--their plate is unclear.
This type is bust right. RIC Heraclea 8 is listed as bust left, in error.
RIC lists no coins of Procopius from Antioch. This type not at Nicomedia, although type 7 is.
RIC lists AE2 and AE1 extremely rare types of Procopius with this legend (Table 1A).

On rarity: Many coins of Procopius are coming out of the Balkans and they are now only "scarce," no longer rare. The bust left variety, Type 7, can be found with full flan in high grade, but Type 8 can not (The example above is the best I have seen in any catalog.)
This type regularly suffers from chipped flans (brittle metal?) and crowded types.
My notes on the many recent coins from the Balkans suggest this type is much rarer than Type 7 by about 1 to 6.

Type 8A, Procopius. AE3. SECVRITAS REIPVB
Obverse bust right.  Reverse: Emperor standing front, head right, holding standard with +, resting left on shield

Constantinople. 
Not in RIC.

Not listed in RIC, but the ANS has one. Extremely rare.
Confer RIC (Con) 4, page 210, for this reverse type in gold, but with spear instead of the standard, plate XI.6.
Note that this obverse portrait is the style usually seen on AE which is quite unlike the usual style on gold. Therefore this is not a trial strike in copper of a solidus.

 

****** Supplemental List ***********
There are apparently a few pieces of two extremely rare larger denominations. These are so rare that I have excluded them from the main tables and put them in the supplemental list.
These are of the same reverse type as Types 7 and 8.
"AE30" RIC Her 6, R4, plate XV.8 in VG.
"medallion?" RIC Cyz 4 p. 240, R4. Cayon 7 (Cyz) "double maiorina" p. 2742, 1 photo in aVF, holed at top/top.
RIC Con 14 "medallion". Cayon 8 (Con) "double maiorina" p. 2742, 1 photo in VF+/aVF, holed at top/bottom.
The above three RIC listings are, from the Cayon photos, clearly the same denomination and type, merely from different mints.The following is the same type in smaller size.
AE2, RIC Cyz 6, R4, RIC Nic 8. Cayon 9-10, no photos.
