I think this is a maiorina of Margentius.

DN MAGMEN-TIVS PF AVG
VICTOR[IAE DD NN AV]G ET CAE
With the winged victories in the reverse holding a VOT V MULT X inscription. And a I below.

Margentius,-Maiorina

The mintmak looks like LPLC. Perhaps RPLG of Lyon?

But I see no remains of an A behind the head of the emperor. The ones I founs have that A.
What did the A mean? And why VOT V if he only reigned 3 years?

Your mintmark is LPLG and I am assuming that the A is obscured due to wear or a weak strike; but maybe it was never there. Unfortunately, we do not know what the A meant. The VOT V MVLT X is more of an anticipatory vow, versus vows . This was common for Emperors to make vows in the hope that they would have a peaceful rule for the future. Quite a few made these vows and did not live to see them accomplished. There are Latin terms for this-- Vota Soluta (vows fulfilled) and Vota Suscepta (vows undertaken)...so these vows Magnentius made are vota suscepta-- merely undertaken but not fulfilled.
