« on: August 09, 2012, 11:04:16 am »
Can anyone help identify this coin, whether it belongs to arcadius or  honorius, and where could this coin be minted? I know its not easy...

I agree.  The first three letters in the obverse legend look like "DN A".  I would say Arcadius

The exergue looks like SMN(A), so it is from Nicomedia. I don't know the Sear reference, but it would be RIC IX Nicomedia 45c
