The reverse: SMANI is a mintmark on a Constantinopolis Follis coin.
The coin features a victory standing on the left, leaning on a shield and holding a scepter.
ID of the obverse to follow (hopefully).

If I had the coin and wished to sell it, I'd average 3 or 4 sales of similar coins in similar condition; then list at that value.

Some clarification of the mintmark may be helpful.
This mintmark (SMANI) is in three parts:
SM for Sacra Moneta (Moneta being the goddess of money)
AN for Antioch
I for the 10th 'officina' where the coin was minted.
Of the 16 'officinae' that I'm aware of, each had its own suffix to the AN mintmark.
