thanks to Peter / "WelfIV" for the ID who commented: "... the beard looks a bit unusual for this type of coin. Theodore usually has a forked beard that I can't see in your photo. But there are several variaties of this coin (with one or two stars, without stars, with and without points, etc.) so that your coin might just be a variety."
