What is this? And before someone says "it's a dime" yeah I know.

Picture is a bit small but it looks like an AE4 of the emperor Honorius.

 

Is it possible to get a larger image? Ski may be right, but I can't tell anything from this small image.

 

Thank you but did you guys click on it? It gets a lot bigger. I can try and get a larger picture for you though.

 

You are right. I did not click on the image. Now that I have, I see that Ski is correct. No doubt that it is Honorius

 

Any better?

 

I cannot read the minmark in exergue, but judging from style I am guessing it is from Nicomedia:

Honorius AE3. 395-401 AD. D N HONORIVS P F AVG, pearl diademed bust right / VIRTVS EXERCITI, Honorius standing right with spear & shield, being crowned by Victory standing beside him, SMNA in ex.

Take a look at this: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/honorius/RIC_0063.jpg

 

Thank you both!

 

No problem. I would add, however, there are some other options as to where this may have been minted. Rome and Cyzicus to be specific.
