Late roman bronze. Immitation?

[corcorax]

Hello.

Have quite a lot trouble with this small roman coin.
At fisrt I thought it doesn't even worth identifying it (probably just a worthless Constantine&sons era coin).
But when I looked closely I saw that it looks rather strange.
It's a quite crude made coin.
Can't identify the emperor's portraite.
The obverse shows a soldier with a spear and a shield (?) near the leg.

It's a very small coin - 13 mm and 1,8 g.

Would really appreciate any thoughts regarding this coin.
Is it barbaric immitation? Can it be identified?
And if it's not an immitation - what is it anyway?

Big thanks.

Your coin has an VRBS ROMA FELIX reverse, and the obverse looks like Honorius.

The early issues of these coins were well-struck, but the style and fabric began to deteriorate. Besides being more crude in style, later issues also seem to have been struck only in the name of Honorius. Since these later coins are inferior to coins issued by the usurper Attalus, there is some speculation that these crude examples may have been issued after the fall of Attalus.

description for the first coin-

The reverse of this coin translates as "Happy City of Rome"

Thanks!
On my coin's reverse the letters OF and and probably epsilon can be seen too.
So the coin wasn't an officially minted coin (I mean - not by the Honorius)?
I am quite aware of the difficult political situation in the Empire at that time, but anyway - who struck these coins?
Visigoths?

Sorry if my post was not clear, I believe that yours is an official issue and only mentioned Attalus because of the theory that these crude examples (struck only for Honorius) may have been issued after the fall of Attalus.
