<p>[QUOTE="Noah Worke, post: 24883635, member: 115032"]Looking it it, I could see either Serdica or Ostia. The last letter could be an O, D, or T with a heavy serif. It is partly off of the flan either way which makes this more difficult, as the first letter is incomprehensible. The thing keeping me from being certain that it's Serdica is the fact that the SD would be so far to the left for it to be just the two. I <i>think </i>I see an O before it, but it could just be a pit. However, judging by the surface of the rest of the coin, a pit that large is unlikely. I added two more photos here, hopefully they help. I played around with the zoomed-in one but it wasn't much help. What do you think?
