jetzul32 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/26/2026 12:44 pm Hello! I don't see any lettering on the obverse and I am not able to make out the lettering on the reverse. I do think the mint mark on the bottom of the reverse starts with an S but after that I am unsure. Any ideas what this coin is? 1.72 g and 14mm. Thanks!

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/26/2026 1:41 pm Your reverse is GLORIA ROMANORVM (two Emperors) and was issued for either Honorius or Theodosius II (A.D. 408- 423). The mintmark looks like it starts with SM which means it is from Heraclea (SMHA), Nicomedia (SMKA) or Cyzicus (SMKA). Report this Post to the Staff

DN THEODO-SIVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right, star behind head / GLORIA-ROMA-NORVM, Two emperors standing facing, heads turned to one another, each holding spear and resting hand on shield. The emperor on the right is smaller than the other. " "Honorius, AE3 of Cyzicus. DN HONORIVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right, star behind head / GLORIA ROMANORVM, Two emperors standing facing, heads turned to each other, each holding spear and resting hand on shield. The emperor on the right is slightly smaller than the other. Dot in left field." Edited by jetzul32 04/26/2026 8:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
