    I'm thinking about buying this as a gift. What are your thoughts about it's condition? And what is it worth?

    Also if someone could provide a online reference link that would be great!

    Looks like a provincial bronze of Caracalla? Not my area of expertise, but the designs look soft, so not sure if it is genuine. A worn coin would have the legends more worn in my opinion. Nice patina though, but this can always be applied. I could be wrong though, as provincials aren't my focus.

    Why is it greenish in areas?
