ROMAN IMPERATORS, Mark Antony, Legionary Denarius Fouree with Iron Core
Silver-plated iron counterfeit of a Mark Antony legionary denarius.

Obv:
ANT AVG III VIR R P C
galley r., mast with banners at prow

Rev:
LEG II
legionary eagle between two standards

32 BC or later

2.35g  17mm  180deg

The coin has many blisters and breaks in the silver foil showing evidence that the core is highly corroded. There's a rusty-looking area on the rev. 7o'clock that made me test the coin with a magnet. The coin jumped to the magnet and stuck. Iron-cores are much more rare than copper.
