    Valentinian SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, a bit deformed and the mintmark is falling off the edge.

    Am I seeing SMHA or SMKA or am I completely off base? I lean that it is an H for Heraclea, but the obverse looks more similar to examples from Cyzicus (K).

    Namaste!

    I see SMHA but I am no expert.

    There is also a Nicomedia mintmark of SMNA. Cyzicus is the most common though. You should also post the obverse, since it helps (sometimes)
