LOL, no. I'd wager that's a modern forgery pretending to be an an ancient Roman denarius.


Here is a genuine one *not mine*

 

Roman. Salustia Orbiana, wife of Severus Alexander, 225-227, and it looks fake, a modern cast copy.

 

I can't find her coins on wildwinds. But the reverse is supposed to be Concordia AVG. That being said, doesn't look real to me.

 

My friend had it in his wallet.i asked if he minded if I put pic on here.if it was real I'd find out
Thanks Glen

 

I reconfirm what the others have said. It is a tourist reproduction, i.e. fake.
