This ungraded circulated Roman Imperial Era copper (or bronze) coin weighs ~3.3 g and is a little shorter than a modern Roosevelt dime along its shortest diameter, but a bit longer along its widest diameter. The piece appears to be a “barbarous radiate crown” minted in the 3rd century AD, but might be an Antoninus. The obverse depicts a bearded emperor and a perhaps a tribute to “Venus”on its reverse.
