RIC 1081 (RIC [1962] 246) (Vespasian), RSC 393, BMC 269.
I have not been able to locate the exact type of this coin. This is the nearest so far, but the obverse writing does not match, being -CAESVE- that I can make out.
The coin has been stablised since the photo was taken.
Weight - 3.0g

Domitian_as_Caesar,_Fouree.jpg
Domitian, as Caesar FoureeDomitian as Caesar under Titus, 79-81 A.D. Unofficial Mint. (2.77g, 19.2m, 5h). Obv: CAESAR DIVI F DOMITIANVS COS VI, laureate head right. Rev: PRINCEPTS [IVVE]NTVTIS, alter, garlanded and lighted.

This Fouree is in good condition and didn’t see extensive circulation. This example shows slight bubbling in the silvering and only a slight peek of the copper core beneath at the top of the alter’s flame. The portrait is also slightly off for this period of Domitian as Caesar under Titus.

Domitian, FoureeDomitian. 81-96 A.D. Fouree Denarius. Unknown Mint. (2.43g, 19.4m, 6h). Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM TP (no “R”) XI, laureate head right. Rev: IMP XXII COS XVII CENS PPP, Minerva standing left with spear (M4). Ex Warren Esty.

Fourees tend to be common during the Republic and era of the 12 Caesars. Ancient forgeries with a bronze core and silver coating, they were meant to pass as full silver pieces. This example has irregular lettering showing it was not made from official mint dies as some fourees appear to be, but an outright forgery copying a common type of Domitian.

Domitian, Fouree 2Domitian 81-96 A.D. Fouree Denarius. Unofficial Mint. (2.81g, 18m, 5h). Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM PM TRP XI, laureate head right. Rev: IMI XXII [] PPP, Minerva standing left with thunderbolt and spear, shield at her l. side (M3). Cf RIC II 737.

Without the breaks in the silver, the unofficial lettering would give this away as a fouree, as would the die axis and light weight. Interestingly, this coin mimics RIC II 737 minted in 92 A.D. which RIC lists as vary rare (R2). IMP XXII was Domitian’s final imperial acclamation.

Minted after 141 AD. DIVA FAVSTINA on obv., her veiled bust facing right. AVGVSTA reverse, with Faustina standing, holding globe and shield. With most of the original silvering still intact, very attractive.17mm, 2.8grams.
Fouree coins were produced by ancient counterfeiters by putting a bronze flan between two thin sheets of silver foil and striking the with fake dies. They were very common in 1st-3rd centuies AD, but the silver came off fairly easily, and most of the preserved fourees are just copper cores.

Test cut on obv. exposing copper core. Scrape on reverse. Looks like the finder went a bit overboard with the cleaning.
Unfortunately I lack the references to tell what type/mint this is imitating but I believe it is not a lifetime issue.

This coin shows, by the first half of the third century AD, fourée coins had a very thin layer of silver, or rather, the partial remains of that layer, mainly on reverse.

Its obverse is taken from a denarius of Orbiana (RIC 319, Cohen 1), the wife of Severus Alexander: SALL BARBIA ORBIANA AVG, diademed and draped bust right. The reverse is taken from a denarius of Julia Mamaea (RIC 332; BMC 913), Severus Alexander's mother: FECVND AVGVSTAE, Fecunditas seated left, reaching out to child. This reverse type is not found on official issues of Orbiana. (From EC's collection, ex-Gringott's Coins).

17mm 2.6g
Ancient counterfeit of RIC II 343
Minted after 114 A.D.

Despite the numerous breaks in the plating I find this coin highly attractive. The dies are beautifully engraved, the toning is nice, and the obverse shows an area where the silver foil was folded over the flan.

Diameter - 18mm approx
The coin appears to have a low grade silver core that had been plated with quality silver.
The centre has been domed, almost as if hit by a ball pien hammer.
A crack has formed from the outer flan to almost the centre.
