Caracalla?
« on: November 22, 2012, 10:39:30 am »
This is an 18mm silver coin.  I purchased it several years ago as an Antoninus Pius.  After researching it  now appears to me to be a Caracalla.
It looks similiar to BM-555, C-441 (6Fr.) but the reverse is not exactly the same. Any help appreciated

Thanks so much. I am still learning how to ID coins mostly use the Wildwind site.
