Jesus Christ could have had this coin in his pocket. This coin could be a holy relic, who knows?

 

@Collecting Nut - That's a lot nicer than my first such type -- by far. Congrats!

Here's a sewn image of the two sides with the lituus correctly positioned:



Something I like about your example is that the reverse "I" in the date is distinctly separated from the preceding leter "L". On some examples (mine included), the "L" and the "I" are connected so that it seems to read "UZ" instead of "LIZ". Here's a zoom-in of mine:


EDIT: A correction on your description to change 'O' to 'I' in Tiberius' name:

Obv.: TIBEPIOY KAICAPOC, lituus

 

Thanks. Looks like I got it upside down.
