A very worn cast copper-alloy Dupondius, probably of Severus Alexander (AD 222-235). Reverse shows Pax advancing left. This coin is probably a contemporary copy, a limesfalsum, although it is very worn.

No dupondius is recorded for this issue so an obverse of another coin, a dupondius, was probably used for the obverse mould…
