Appears to be a siliqua of Honorius.

DN IVSTI-NVS PP AVG = Justin I or II. Not my area of expertise but I believe this type should be in gold, not silver.

Justinian I mid 6th c.
Reverse VICTORIA AVCCC (sic) with Constantinople mint of CONOB in exergue; Victory is seated left, inscribing a shield, a star in the field to her left, a simplified Christogram or staurogram in the field to the right.

Appears to be an imitative issue copying an AV semissis, the style is rather simplified. This is not an area of great expertise for me so I would not be able to venture as to whether it was a contemporary issue.

A bit of research on the Internet shows that this particular design was one that was copied by the Ostrogoths (which would make a bit of sense, Justinian I and the Byzantines did conquer them after all, at least eventually and for a relatively short while) - perhaps during the reign of Theodoric or more likely Athalaric or Theodahad.

Thanks all!

Its my understanding that there is no published example of this coin, right? What is the estimate value of such a coin please?

That's it for me, I haven't collected Roman coins in so long I've forgotten how to read the legends.
