Please
help with this coin. Is bears a heavily doubled
IMP SEV ALE-XAND
AVG obv. legend and a IOVI CONSER-VATORI
rev. with
Jupiter with thunderbolt/scepter and the little SA to the lower left. It measures 19.5 mm and weighs 4.55 grams. I understand the
Denarius of that era was around 2.5 grams. This is not a
radiate so I don't think it is an
Antoninianus worth 2
Denarii and it does not appear to be one of the
posthumous Ants of
Sev Alex.
Also, note the
red spots mostly to the left. These are not raised encrustations but are within the metal and the color you see is flush with the surface. Any idea what that is?
Any
help would be appreciated.
