Septimus Severus coin

I bought this coin today locally, but when measuring the weight and searching for the right attribution, I started wondering if its legit.
Measures are:
- 18x20 mm
- 1.67 grams

I would appreciate your honest oppinion on this matter.

Thanks!
P.s. I tried to somewhat improve the quality of my photos and I would appreciate your suggestions on how to improve in that area.

I'm no expert at all. It's just a feeling your coin is OK. The loss of weight is due to wear. Hope I'm not mistaken.

 

Looks like a golden aureus, adjusted the colour , but its also over-exposed.
try daylight next time.
Looks Original to me, although underweight.

 

That's RIC 166, BMCRE 197, Cohen 586, Hill 432, RCV 6354. It may be a so-called "limes denarius," or simply underweight. Severan denarii occasionally run < 2.0 grams.

 

Thanks for suggestions and the help.
I use a camera with a super zoom function, because it was the only way I could get clear close up.

 

Thanks people!
