Looks to be a Valens SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE coin. Here's an ugly one of mine. These are quite common and not worth much. Sort of like Valens himself. But very much genuine.
I think you have to do something about your picture standards if you hope to get accurate identification of all your coins, Sir. My guess is that this is the type: Valentinian I, AE3 Nummus, Siscia, A.D. 364 - A.D. 367 Obverse: D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG: Bust of Valentinian I, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed, right Reverse: SECVRITAS-REIPVBLICAE: Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. Mint mark: A (1st officinae) SISC Reference: RIC IX 7a Siscia Hard to say if it’s Valentinian or Valens though.
I don't think there's enough room on the obverse for it to be Valentinian. The letters on either side of Victory are "field marks" and were likely used for mint control--designating a particular run of a particular coin type. This coin might be a bit closer to your type since it has similar field marks. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/ar...364378_ad_ae3_extra_fine/1366028/Default.aspx
like this one Valens A.D. 367- 375 D N VALENS P F AVG; pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust. SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE; Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm. In ex. ASISCE RIC IX Siscia 15b, type xxxiii
On the reverse do you think there’s two letters . One either side of the person standing .I have geared they could mark a battle or different mint than London.might well not be letters at all .
