    When posting an unknown, it is good to give a size. This type is usually large enough (21mm) to be called AE2. The Theodosius I and Cyzicus ID is certain. I'd say genuine is also most certain.

    Doug is right.
    For coins of this time period, this illustrated list may be useful:

    Click on the image of the reverse type to learn more about that type. It also has many supplemental notes listed in its table of contents.
