Description: | A copper alloy radiate of the Roman Empire. The obverse side shows a radiate bust facing right. Different colours in the patina appear to show the outline of the face. However due to the level of wear on the coin no other details of the portrait are visible and nor is any of the obverse legend. Therefore the emperor portrayed and the exact date of the coin is uncertain. In general, copper alloy radiates date from 260AD to the end of the 3rd century AD (Reece periods 13-15).The reverse type and reverse legend cannot be determined as the reverse side is also very worn. No mint marks are visible.This coin is roughly circular. It is thin around the edge, which feels rough. Both sides have light green patina. Patches of darker green patina appear on both sides and may be remnant of the original surface. This coin is 16.61mm in diameter and 1.52mm thick. It weighs 1.47g.
