Hi Victor,
This is a coin that I have tried to get a ric number for but for some reason have been unable to nail down.
Hoping that you are familiar with this type.
The mintmark is partially obscured but it is either, SMN, SMK or SMA.
Obverse - VALENTINIANUSPFAVG
Reverse - SALVSREIPUBLICAE,  Victory dragging captive, trophy over shoulder, cross in shield/circle in field.
Weight - 1.01g
Size - 12mm
