AE for ID

Does anyone know what this coin could be?

Obv. Bust of Christ (?)

Rev. Emperor holding cross/labarum

I thought it might be a Latin trachy but I'm not too sure.

Kind regards,

Hi Trapezunt,

To start give the other readers as much info as you can, like size, weight ( If you have the scale) but for Trachea size is important. I am uncertain if I have the reverse flipped but her is a better photo to help.

My first guess is Latin or  a Bulgarian official issue .

Best,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for this (and for the clearer photo!). I haven't got access to scales but the coin measures c. 18mmx19mm - apologies for not including this info earlier!

Thanks again,

Trapezunt
