I acquired this years ago. I decided to start cleaning stuff again and remembered it. Spent hours searching coins until I realized I was looking for the wrong denomination. It's a dupondius or an As I think. Whoever cleaned it probably gave up. Lots of scratches in the patina. I think I can clear up the legend but I would like to know exactly what it says first. I would hate to chisel off a letter. I've seen some of you identify culls so this should be easy. About 25 mm just under 12 g. I had to reduce quality and I'm not sure why the pics rotated but I hope they're good enough. Thank in advance!

Maybe Viminacium mint? Perhaps Trebonius Gallus (I think I see BON, maybe followed by GALLO on the obv), and Moesia standing between bull and lion on the reverse, with some variant of PMS-C_OL-VIM reverse.

Worth searching along those lines.

I think it's the same legend as the second link. Do you agree?
