    I have a ring with what looks to me to be a replica ancient coin. Can anyone identify what kind of coin it is a replica of?

    Cool. I know almost nothing of ancient coins. What is it?

    A "denarius" of Severus Alexander?

    Despite the votes for Elagabalus, the legends say IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG. Listen to PeteB.

    How'd you come across this unique acquisition? And are you able to measure the coin in MM?

    Not gold or an aureus. Definitely a silver denarius.

    It was part of a silver jewelry lot I bought from a customer before the lockdown. I do not have access to my mm gauge right now to get a measurement, sorry.
