Once again from the dregs of my coin box. Siliqua or denarius?

It is definitely silver, front is somewhat there, but no real legend. Reverse is a mess.

Based of the degree of damage which would explain the loss of weight and size I would say a denarius.

Based on the portrait style, I would say am Argenteus, maybe similar to:

Based on the portrait, I would guess Galerius, but it could be Maximian.

I agree with the Argenteus. I think it more likely to be a reverse type of X·C-VI in two lines within wreath.

Good eyes! I now see the X and V.

I know I did not buy the coin. It came in with a lot of something else. Been festering in the junk box for probably 20 years.
