The last of my 4 roman coins. 12, 5 mm diam.

Obverse with no readable inscription.Reverse with a goddess(?), and 5 signs that seem to be no letters.

Should I try to clean the obverse a bit more, or do you recommend me me simply  to accept it as an anonymous with a nice reverse.

Thank you for your help

A nice reverse indeed.

 

Still working on that, all I can say now is that I can read only the letters at right, AVG. (A at 1h, V at 3h and G at 5h)

The reverse is probably PAX AVG: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome_section&r=&st=1-2&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=215-301&i=*pax+avg*&b=&m=1&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw=&p=1
The V and the star on the two sides of the goddess can help to narrow things down.


I have no idea about the obverse though. You can try to clean it up a little bit more, but I'm affraid it's too far gone.
 
Edit: This time Giobruno was faster 🙂.

Dear Greg, Dear Giobruno

I bought the 4 coins I posted today as a student, and for half a century I had no clue what they represent. And today I get the utmost possible information about all of them!

I really am grateful for your time, your knowledge and the generosity to share it with me.

Kind regards from Luxembourg

Hey Greg, your clue solved the question.

 

The V at left and star at right pointed to Victorinus, RIC V 118:

Yes, I think you're right, that is the one. Also the image of the goddess is somewhat crude on the OPs coin. That is more similar to the Gallic Empire coins than to the roman imperial ones.
