Hello friends. Maybe someone can help me with that coin. I tend to see this coin as a barbaric imitation in the name of Theodosius, given the crude aspect of the bust and the legends.

However, I was told the possibility of being a standard Theodosius II currency, like this:

Alex, can you elaborate on the imitation aspect?
I can see AQ. Aquileia mint?
I can see the AQ clearly too. Here I have seen an example of this coin that is said to be from the Aquilea mint (But your mintmark is in better condition) :

In salus reipublicae coins the victory is usually after the "rei": salus rei-publicae, but in this the victory is separating after the r salusr- (rest not visible). That, but the crude bust, and the diminishing DNTHEODO caption make me believe to be imitative.
