The coin as a thick green patina and perhaps lime mixed with it. I do not think removing the oxides will make the coin more readable.

My best guess is it is a 'barbarous' imitation of an LRB of Theodosius the Great

Thank you. That reverse seems a match. I think that the legend on the obverse is not the same. But I was reading N?CN... which does not make sense. A barbarian imitation could have nonsensical legends.

How large it is? The reverse seems to match, but this type is AE2, i.e. 21-23 mm normally, very large for a LRB.

I do think it looks probably barbarous. If it's that type, I'd guess it imitates an issue of Gratian.
