    I can't even tell what Emperor this is - any help appreciated :)

    It is about 20mm and 3.1g.

    Thank you!! I was spending far too long going through photos of coins with bearded Emperors trying to narrow this down. I knew I would get an answer here very quickly.

    Lol, no I wrote something about the portrait being weird, but a few seconds later realized I was thinking of Philip the Arab, not Claudius II. For some reason my mind always confuses the two. :(
