I am not going to sell it, I am just seeing how much its worth, because a friend off of cointalk gave me this particular coin. Plus its very special to me and its my favorite coin. Its a SMN (delts?) minted in Nicodemia between 395-401 A.D. I will try to scan it..... Frm what I read its a piece of the Roman Empire
Just off the top of my head, I'd say Constantius the second. I have one as well. Does it look like this?
I would suggest putting it under a magnifying glass, and checking out the lettering, as there are quite a few different rulers, i.e. Constantine, Constans, Constantius... If you could copy down, and post the exact lettering, it would be a great help.
Unfortunately, the resolution is still pretty poor. When I tried to view it with Windows picture viewer, and the mag it up, I still can't really see it clearly enough to ID the coin.
Honorius, 22 January 393 - 15 August 423 A.D. Honorius was the son of Theodosius I and upon the latter's death was given the Western provinces to rule as emperor, while his brother Arcadius was given the East. Honorius was a weak incompetent ruler dominated at first by the famed general Stilicho, then by various court favorites. In August 410 A.D. he sat helpless at Ravenna while Rome was sacked by the Goths. He was succeeded by Valentinian III. 1.734g, 15.2mm, 180o, 408 - 423 A.D.; obverse D N HONORI-VS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right, star left; reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM, Theodosius II and Honorius standing facing, heads to center, each holding spear and shield, TESA in ex; http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m138/dumanyu2/Honorius.jpg If this is the same coin, and unfortunately I cannot read the exergue (the letters at the bottom of the reverse) which denotes the mint. But if it is indeed the same coin, you may have something worth $40.00 or so. Although, as I always have said, you could have a coin worth $10,000.00, but if nobody wants to buy it, it's not worth a hill of beans.
