Base metal.
This is a published fake. It is number 6 on Plate 24 in the The American Numismatic Society, Museum Notes 30 in an article called Myrina and Related Forgeries. It is from Alexandria Troas, with the head of Apollo left and Apollo Smintheus standing right. The listed forgery is in silver, but the coin in this topic is an exact match to the one illustrated on the plate.

Clodius Albinus, Denarius, Alexandria76 viewsObv:– D CLOD SEPT ALBIN CAES, Laureate head right
Rev:– FELICITAS COS II, Felicitas standing half left, caduceus in right and scepter in right hand
Minted in Alexandria. A.D. 194.
Cast fake.
I bought the top coin and thought it superfically ok. Whilst researching the coin I located the lower coin. Upon much closer examination I found the traces of a casting seam on my coin confirming it as a cast fake. I suspect the lower coin is a cast fake too though there is an outside chance that it is the host but I doubt it.maridvnvm
