Hello !

I would like to ask about your opinion about this coin. If there is anything disturbing ?
I couldn't find this type of revers in th net.

Diameter is 17 mm, weight 2.9 g

Many thanks,
Tom

Looks authentic to me, nothing at all disturbing.

Did you note the engraving error, omission of first E in

ATERNAE, should be

AETERNAE?

Buttrey in Numismatic Chronicle 1992, President's Address, knew five ROMAE AETERNAE denarius types of Niger, but gave no details of types, legends, location of specimens.
