received the lot, the other coins are pretty bad. A Titus Dupondius (maybe its a sestertius), what looks like a republican Quadrans that Ill need to research and a very worn Votive wreath. The rest are slicks.

But, this came out trumps. It does look like Zenonis, but ill get a second opinion from an expert in hand next time I go to the city.

The blob in the middle is level with the rest of the features and the left hand bit is the bottom of the loop of an S, so I'm quite confident. The bust survives, minorly, on the other side, and what's left of the legend doesn't match Zeno.

My last post was locked (probably for repetition), but this is a post about the coin seperately and I feel it needs the additional thread.

Also, heres what I see on the coin. Interpretations welcome - Its still being labelled as Zeno until I'm absolutely certain the S isn't damage.

I hope you are right Ben!, but.. I thought the S should be turned 90 degrees?

The S is usually at an angle. The S I see would be in line with what you'd expect. Heres an example:
