    Weighing 8 g. along with 22 mm. of diameter, the following bronze coin has a male bust heading right. The reverse is new to me.. There might be 2 dolphins separated by a column, but it's still doubtful. The left field of reverse possibly reads SHCTA or SPICTA. .
    Please try to identify. Thank you.

    I'm clueless, but the portrait looks kind of like Maximinus Thrax to me?

    Except he's usually got a much more prominent chin. Hm.

    Then again, I could imagine I see Trajan Decius there, too...

    Thanks a lot. I'll be searching easily now.

    I saw the type Bing linked up when I was browsing Wildwinds, but I don't think that's quite it. Still, it looks to me like it's a Roman provincial from around that era?

    Maybe Trebonianus Gallus?
    And could that be a big ol' lyre on reverse?
