Licinius II I Think

I am cleaning one that I think is
Licinius II, AE follis of Heraclea, AD 321-324.
Any advice or comments are welcome.

I must say I'm very impressed with your patient cleaning process!
SMH? Looks a good call..

 

Thanks. It takes a bit of time, but, I am retired doing it for fun.

 

Hey there @Inspector43 - I look forward to seeing the coin when you decide to stop cleaning. That is always a difficult call to make (for me, at least).

Can you make out a pterodactyl hand on the obverse?

 

I can't make out his hand yet. But it will be skinny and funny looking if I get there. I have to put this one in solution for a few days before I try to get any further. Luckily, I have plenty to work on.

 

Enjoy.
