Went to Chesterfield 'Flea' market this morning and managed to purchase a few ancients (6). Managed to ID five of them but stuck with this one. I have seen the type before but I can't remember for the life of me what they were. It has the two heads facing away from each other on the obverse. Measures 17 mm and the weight is 4.67 grams. Thank you.

Thank you Victor. I should have got that, didn't even think about the obverse being Janus.
