Similar to mine but from thessalonica. I'm sure someone can give you the exact RIC number.

I find that Tesorillo is a good site to start with on some of these grubbier Late Roman Bronzes. Once you narrow down the reverse, you can work on the emperor.

Thanks David and Alegandron those both look very much like mine... But mine is more degraded than yours... Wonder if it is even worth anything...
Thank you furryfrog I will check it out...

 

It's worth an education That's really about it.

 

I bought this similar Thessalonika in 1998 for $5. I no longer have it but doubt it is worth much more today (certainly no more than $5 would be invested in a bank for the last 22 years). Someone on CT probably has it now but I forget who. Finding someone to buy/adopt this level coin is not always easy.

 

That's got a nice Victory reverse @dougsmit. Certainly better than most LRBs I have seen.

 

Even the most humble LRB can tell a story to the interested. I added a few notes to my cataloging of this type.

 

Beautiful coin and that booger coming out of his nose is priceless!

 

Thanks for all of the help and input everyone... The funnest part was finding it with my metal detector... Have a great night and be safe

 

..welcome to CT! ...isn't your title the name of a butterfly?....

 

It's probably worth around $3-$4
