A silver Roman coin; a Denarius, possibly a modern replica of Antoninus Pius, 138-161AD. It has a diameter of 18.23mm, thickness 2.11mm, weight 2.15g. The surface of the coin is pitted and the obverse legend looks suspicious. The metal does not feel like silver - it is possibly a white metal coating over a base metal core. The coin is copying a denarius of Antoninus Pius with naked Genius or Bonus Eventus on the reverse, number 4069 in Sear Volume II. The coin is scratched and chipped.
