Yep. Theodosius II cross in wreath. Can't make out the mint mark.
If they had the exact same bust with a diadem that said "LIBERTY"--like on the obverse of the V nickel--it would be an absolutely marvelous coin.
Very nice! That Juno reverse is hard to come by. I only have the two Venus ones (which I purposely set out to obtain because I have a celebrity...

Get the Edward mule! It's far harder to get another one if you let it go. You could get the US cent any time you wanted.
Pocket change going for $5000 because a number on a holder says it's exceptional? I don't care how exceptional a Lincoln cent's grade is when it...
Outstanding!
It is my coin! Got it from Pegasi in an auction about 13 years ago.
