Okay, based on what you just said I make one more wild guess:
John of Brienne?

No. I apologize for such an off the wall coin. There really isn't a lot of information about the Latin Rulers coinage of Constantinople. From what I have read and from other examples that I've seen in various places. These have all been attributed to Baldwin I of Constantinople. Baldwin the I of Constantinople Baldwin IX of Flanders 1204-1205 Clipped billon trachy Bust of Christ Arc-angle Michael SB-2036   Someone go a head and post one. |

Still something interesting - now I recognise the shape of the coin (had the impression it was a trachy before). Here one I am prepared to withdraw if there are complains about the image quality:  |

Oh the 4th crusade  . I think a quote by Marcellinus sums up the destruction of Byzantium by those "crusaders" rather well "No wild beasts are so deadly to humans as most Christians are to each other" Med. your coin looks like a post Roman , Germanic king ? Edited by Augustus Maximus

Nope - the coin was minted before the end of the Western Empire.

Any hint apart from a time based hint would make it too easy (btw, that is a hint in itself).

Valentinian II?
It's amazes me how two Christian empires who where fighting the Arabs, found the time to go at each other because of a difference of opinion about the nature of Christ. To this day we still have the divide between the two. Though it's a bit more peaceful now.

Isn't Valentinian III after Honorius?
@ 'echizento' - no, before the dynasty of Valentinian.

It looks a bit like Trajan.
