Chris – This is a legitimately RARE piece and historically important, etc.

Rare coins have increased enormously in retail value since 2000, however a higher grade would have increased more than a visibly worn (if still attractive) piece like this.
Frankly, I have no idea what this would sell for now. I’ve never cataloged one of these before.

If I had a $ for every common coin I’ve heard touted as “rare”, “extremely rare” etc, I think I could afford to buy this denarius – it’s really rare and sought-after.

1625 Charles 1st hammered silver shilling (12 pence)

16thC Tudor clothing fastener with religious inscription

IHS: dating from the 8th c., this is an abbreviation for "IHESUS," the way Christ's Name was spelled in the Middle Ages (despite popular belief, the monogram stands neither for "Iesus Hominum Salvator" --"Jesus Saviour of Men" -- nor for "In His Service.") Popularized by St. Bernardine of Siena, the monogram was later used by St. Ignatius of Loyola as a symbol for the Jesuit Order.

The IHS monogram is an abbreviation or shortening of Jesus' name in Greek to the first three letters. Thus ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, ιησυς (iēsus, "Jesus"), is shortened to ΙΗΣ (iota-eta-sigma), sometimes transliterated into Latin or English characters as IHS or ΙΗC.

The symbol is said to appear rarely in the catacombs, only in the catacomb of Priscilla and the atrium of the Capella Gr�ca (Greek Chapel).1 It was popularized in the fifteenth century, however, by Franciscan disciple Bernadine of Sienna as a symbol of peace. In 1541 St. Ignatius Loyola adopted the symbol with three nails below and surrounded by the sun as the seal of the Jesuit order.

Contrary to some authors, the monogram originally stood for neither for Iesus Hominum Salvator ("Jesus Savior of Men") nor for "In His Service." Some attribute its origin to Constantine's vision, where he saw a cross with the inscription "In hoc signo vinces" ("in this sign you shall conquer,"2 which is abbreviated, according to them, as IHS. However, this seems to require a stretch, as do claims that it is really a pagan symbol. The simplest explanation, as an abbreviation of Jesus' name, is best.

I can tell you what it is and give you a pretty tight date range for it, but unfortunately, I can’t pull enough information out of the legends (which appear as though they might become readable with a bit of de-crusting) to say who the portrait is supposed to represent and which was the mint city of origin.
This belongs to the first phase of the ginormous, extended issue of silvered, billon reduced centenionales which were struck in honor of the official move to Constantinople of the Roman Imperial seat beginning in 330. These include, in addition to this type, the Constantinopolis and Vrbs Roma city commemoratives and a few other types limited to this era and emission.
This type – GLORIA EXERCITVS, two soldiers standing front, heads turned towards each other; each holds a spear in outer hand and rests inner hand on a shield – between them, two standards.
This type would be one of the top two or three contenders for the ancient coin type found as the greatest number of surviving pieces  (along with the fallen horseman FEL TEMP’s) possibly the most common coin of antiquity surviving in our era.
Now, this segment of this enormous emission (two standards between the soldiers, and a “full” weight  ~ 2.5g) dates to 330-335 AD.
There are at least eight different persons (the three Caesars repeated as Augustus included) portrayed on this series of coins.
These were struck for Constantine I, Augustus; also for Constantine Jr, Constans and Constantius II, each as Caesar.
Coins of this group just before and then following Constantine’s death (337-340) have only one standard between the two soldiers, and the average weight was reduced further to ~ 1.70g. All three of Constantine’s sons are represented as Augustus on this later issue and (the unfortunate) Constantinian cousin, Delmatius was briefly included as well.

Let me know if you manage to clean the legends up a bit - I might be able to give you a name, tighter date, and mint, depending on what might become legible.
