Interesting and rather decent representation of the Asklepian snake; this motif is altogether unusual for this locale. Additionally interesting for the fact that there is no (visible) identification of denomination (Greek letter indicating the value in assaria - from 1 to 5, in reverse field), although that was customary for Moesian issues of this era.
