Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A copper alloy Roman radiate, possible barbarous copy, of the period AD 276-296. The die has been struck off-flan, which is itself an irregular shape although it may have been shaped in a later period of reuse as the coin has also been pierced. The coin is too worn for further identification.
