    John Anthony Ultracrepidarian

    Plautilla, d. 211, wife of Caracalla.

    Obverse: PLAVTILLA AVGVSTA, Draped bust right.

    Reverse: PIETAS AVGG, Pietas standing, holding scepter and child.

    It has the devices and legends of a denarius, but it sure doesn't look like silver. Perhaps a contemporary counterfeit with a silver wash that's come off over the centuries.
