Roman land, 1 nice coin

I like the 2 Solider 1 Standard, as the Chi-Rho in banner is so clear, & more unusual than the normal type.
 

CRUSADER
 

Second coin reverse legend: GLORI-A EXER-CITVS / / SMTSA.
Reverse Description: Two soldiers standing facing, wearing military, each holding a spear and a shield reversed, in the middle two standards.
Reverse translation: Gloria Exercitus?, (The glory of the army)
Mint name : Macédoine, Thessalonique (Macedonia, thessalonica)

I wonder if back in the day the coin was made they sold them in rolls at the bank and people would buy rolls to look through them. Nice coin.
 

Got to love the roman coins!! they are amazing, after 1500 years, they still look incredible. Congratulations!!
Is the piece of metal silver?

Cheers
