unidentified odd tetricus I Roman coin

Hi guys,

i bought this coin a month ago from a tray of random coins when i got back i looked it up on wildwinds and coinarchives and i had no luck on wildwinds but on coin archives i got something it was tetricus II but it had the same rev? but a way different obv. I also think the coin could be a billon denarius cos the coin looks a bit silvery and is to small for a antonnianus but the same size as a denarius?
i dont have and photos but i'll give u some links of two coins one with the same obv the other with the same rev, and also the coin is about f so it's not as good as the link coins...

this rev:http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=204009&AucID=268&Lot=1200

and this obv: http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=199673&AucID=261&Lot=638

anybody know what it's worth??

 

Hello,

You should post a pic of your coin, it will help IDing it. As for the portrait, if it is the same as on the link you show, with radiate crown, even small, it HAS to be an antoninainus, can't be a denarius.

???

yea the portrait looks more like an aureus one.

 

Picture, please! Its MUCH more likely to be an imitation than an aureus/denarius struck on a bronze flan.

 

ok

ok i'll try to post it tomorrow :smile, oh yes and cucomber it has a radiate crown but what does that mean.?

 

The radiate crown, at that period indicates an antoninianus aka double denarius,

 

thanks cucumbor
