    Im new here, so i dont know if this is the right category to post this in. Please correct me if its not!

    I have had this coin for a while but i dont know anything about it. The inscriptures are almost not visible and hard to intprete.
    I was wondering if anyone recognised it had some information about it.

    thank you!

    Looks like this:

    Gordian III
    AR Antoninianus.
    Obverse: IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, radiate, draped bust right
    Reverse: P M TR P II COS P P, Providentia standing with globe & scepter.

    EDIT: this should also be in the Ancients section. I will request a move.

    Thank you so muchfor the help!

    I didnt any fabrication date concerning the coin. Is it likely that it is from when gordian III was emperor, or do you think it was made later?

    I don't see any reason it wouldn't be legit.

    Nice coin. It looks genuine to me as well - c. 238-244 A.D.
