Alexius I is correct. Sear #1919. The obverse is barely visible so I'll just show the reverse.

here is another byzantine trachy, I'm only showing the figure on the left...on the right is a saint not a ruler.  on a related note: how do you store your trachy coins ski (or anyone else)? I was going to buy some 4x4 flips but there pretty darn expensive...i was thinking of getting some cheapo pvc free baseball card sleeves or postcard sleves?

I put them in the PVC free double pocketed 2x2 flips like any other coin. I keep mine in a binder and I am careful not to slap the pages together when opening or flipping.

no and no....ok, the problem is I can barely cram this one into a 2x2 flip (25mm diameter straight across...but cup with a nice curve to it) and it awkward ...I'm working on one now that is 30mm, it aint going to fit. I have old ones in a couple of 4x4 flips I had from sellers, they're is a box.
i still haven't figured out my coins storage in general...i have some ancients in an album, some in boxes....i don't know which I like better. all my non-ancients are in albums (small collection), oh well.

OK, this one might be difficult. So here is a clue. It is 5th century. VK might get this one.
