See if you can tell in hand whether it has a radiate crown. It seems too small for a sestertius, assuming you have normal-sized hands.

Hi Eric,
Yes maybe Hadrian I'm not sure, though thanks for the reply.

Hi Andreas,
I have normal size hands:laugh:
The coin has a diameter of 27mm and the weight is 10,0gr.
What was strange at the coin is that no reverses? And there are no letters on the obverse.
The radial crown, perhaps, I'm not sure.
Thank you for your response.
Mario

It just seems very, very worn.

worn, ok. but the reverse is flat, with no indication that it used to be something ?.
In any case, thank you.

I think Hadrian is a fair guess ;)
