It's either RIC VII Arles 385 or 400. 
If it is 16mm then RIC VII Arles 400, and if you can tell the first letter inh the exe it would nail it exactly. 
The exe should be either PCONST or SCONST. 
16mm PCONST is R4, 16mm SCONST is also R4.  If the coin is not 16mm then its likely to be RIC VII Arles 385, and again for that PCONST is R4, but SCONST is R3.
Hope that helps,
regards
Mark

Thank you MArk,
the coin is 16mm,
but for the exe, i cant see anything, it s really too short,
(i scan the exe, if you can see something...)

I paid 5$ for that coin, so i made a good deal?
In  that condition, what is the price for that coin?
thanks

Our RIC+ reference Helvetica lists the 4 options already mensioned by mwilson603.

The "R" signifies rarity level. R5 is unique (in RIC-investigated lots  ;) ) R4 is very very very  :-\ rare and R3 is very very rare (or something  ;D )

I would say 60-100 euros. Find a freak, maybe 100-150.
