[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 5391105, member: 87809"]The weight of your coin is right for a moneyer issue. In Gallia and in the Danube area Roman coins, including Dupondi and As, were imitated in times of scarce loose cash (Ref.: HAUM-Katalog-15-Roemische-Muenzen.pdf at [URL]https://doi.org/10.24355/dbbs.084-201810160940-0[/URL] CNG sold one of these issues, weight 7.62 g, noting it is a later imitation (1st and 2nd century).
