I really want to see if someone comes up with a guess. BTW, show the flip side.

 

alright

 

back is fully worn out nothing on it

 

Just about impossible but it does have a Flavian appearance to the portrait. Maybe Vespasian. BTW, its an As, not a Dupondius. Dupondii have a radiate crown, the As a laurel wreath.

 

You're asking for a miracle. I was leaning towards Domitian, but wouldn't bet against Mr. Dorney

 

Post the reverse anyway.

 

Easy. Queen Elizabeth II. 2-pound coin. Crowned bust facing right.

Wait, did you mean the other one?

 

My first thought was Vespasian, but it could just be because a worn down coin resembles a bald head.

 

I see a hunk of copper. :/

 

Looks like vespasian to me as well

 

Yep. Fat head, small neck. Vespasian was the first thing to come to my mind, too.

 

I should add, though, that I would never positively ID a coin based on a guess like that. I'd just label it something like "Roman AE As, 1st-2nd century A.D." Then I'd find some kid to give it to in the hope of getting him or her excited about ancient coins.

 

thanks for your help
