Alexius I, Thessalonika mint, reference SBCV 1932. The reverse is a facing bust of the emperor wearing loros and crown, holding sceptre and globus cruciger and with legend  :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Lambda: :Greek_epsilon: :reversedZ: :Greek_Iota: or something similar.

Thank you. Great reference. Would this be considered a rare coin or common?

It's a fairly common coin - DOC lists over 40 examples - but from an issue which was minted carelessly. Really nice specimens are very hard to find. Sadly, your coin isn't a really nice specimen, nor is the one in my gallery.  :(
