Severina antoninianus?


Recommended Posts

I'm presuming this is a silvered antoninianus.  Could use some attribution assistance on it, if you don't mind?  Is that a Concordia reverse?

My apologies not only for the wretched photos, but also for the fact that I am away from my calipers and scale right now, so I can provide no diameter or weight for the time being.

The light environmental damage to the surfaces gives it a rather mottled appearance which makes it all the more difficult to photograph, but hey, at least it does have a good bit of silvering left, and it does seem to have reasonably high grade details beneath the roughness.

I got it in with a batch of other coins I bought for my giveaways, so that will be its eventual destiny- as a giveaway coin.
