I would appreciate any help offered. I am trying to ID a bronze Helena from the Trier mint. I was told that it was a scarce coin, but I do not know if that is true.

It could be a RIC 78, but I am uncertain. Opinions? Interesting die clash....

With the coin in your hand, perhaps compare here:

I do not collect roman coins, but I know that most of the roman coinage is made by the millions.
No idea of this one is scarce.
