Any chance of a little clearer picture or an idea of what the legend is?

I'm more concerned with the obverse legend, depending on the letters it could be Galerius.

Yep, Magnus Maximus. The legend reads DN MAG MAX-IMVS P[F AVG]. Quite a nice one and actually quite a rare emperor in some parts (Usurpers and regional rulers can be common in their region but command high prices when they dont show up so often in middle easten and european lots).

A much better coin than Maximinus II, not even close to that. That's why old guys like me need to see better detail looking in the wrong place. Nice find.
