A Roman denarius is made of silver and weighs 3+ grams. A Roman antoninnianus is made of silver and weighs 4.5+ grams. If "it seems light" and not as heavy as a silver coin of the same size, then it might be a modern fake.
You do not own a "Krause." The Krause Publishing Co. of Iola, Wisconsin, puts out the
Standard Catalog of World Coins. Although published in America for Americans, it is something of a universal reference among numismatists. If you do not own this, then
what book do you use to identify coins?
"Myanmar" is the modern name for "Burma."

On the plus side,
I am impressed with your command of English. Myself, I am limited to "Ma shlom ka." (Ma shlom ek) "Eza kor hayom." "Tov, toda." and few other pleasantries with the help of a Berlitz.)
