Below, the Aelia Zenonis monogramm present on the coin (variant without horizontal bar below):

I noticed that the monogram is inside a wreath on the reverse. To confirm. I observed on the nummi with the monogram of Aelia Zenonis that some coins seem not to have a wreath ... Given the wear of the coins it is difficult to be sure that no wreath was originally present on the coin. In addition, the wreath is often (when visible) a long way from the monogramm. There is therefore a possibility that the wreath is out of the blank on these coins. For Aelia Zenonis monogramms, the letter S is either vertical or horizontal or between the two (slightly inclined). I chose to not classify these positional changes of the letter S as variant. It is a tiny and random detail in an engraving.
