Follis ID Help Please


Recommended Posts

Hey all, my brother recently went to Jordan and picked up a couple coins for me, among them this M-follis.

 

There's plenty of obverse legend, but I can't quite make it out. I think I see a "MAN" somewhere, indicating Manuel I(?), but it's a tough one that's out of my wheelhouse.

I think I see "TIb"?  Maurice Tiberius from Nicomedia would be my guess.  His coins could be a bit, er, "free form" (or barbarous).  Here's two types:

Pretty cool that you know it came from Jordan.  Nice one @hotwheelsearl

Here's one I have:
