Can I please get some help to Id this coin?
« on: November 14, 2019, 01:29:26 pm »
Hi everyone. I have few coins here I could use help with . Going to post them separately. At 65 the issues I have with my eyes makes it difficult to differentiate between letters or reliefs even under strong magnification. I've managed to put together an extensive collection of ancient & medieval coins for my nephew's son. I managed to attribute most myself but this forum has definitely done that for many as well for which I am forever grateful, thank-you.

This coin is 9.5 grams and 22 mm at it's widest. 4 mm thick.

Reverse shows a bust of Serapis and the date: L - Δ.  Not certain of the emperor but it could be something like this:
