This is an extremely enigmatic coin: it is certainly not an official issue since the style is definitely not a normal one. An Italic origin for the coin seems most likely: the legends are almost perfect and the tall bust style is reminiscent of Ostrogothic issues; but till now no similar piece has been discovered.
