I like these mysterious little things, even the crude ones.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Apparently these aren't particularly common. I got 2 from uncleaned lots, and photographed them with one of those old 1930s German...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Legend might indicate Theodosius II, but the monogram is strange to me. Got a "bowtie" at the top (probably...
