Your coin seems to show an &quot;A&quot; at about 10:00 on the obverse, but where are the letters that would be on either side of the &quot;A&quot; if it were accurately engraved?&nbsp; It is not accurately engraved so we cannot be sure that that one letter determines the identification. Also, there are many coins from that era that are so crude they would be called &quot;ancient imitations&quot; in any other century.</p><p><br /></p><p>It might well be an official issue, in poor condition like most. In my experience the type is most common for Honorius, but I can&#039;t match the legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
