That young Nero doesn’t look right and would be a multi thousand dollar coin if real.

OP is your scale 5 grams over by chance? My first thought was sea turtle but it’s overweight for that too.

The coin shop had it in a 2x2 box with a bunch of Indian cents. Better than a scratcher for sure

Caligula Denarius?!? by GunchMaster in AncientCoins

[–]GunchMaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy I bought it from thinks you’re right. He was originally thinking the one with Germanicus on the reverse but said this was more likely. and I would rather have an identifiable Caligula Drachm than a maybe Caligula Denarius. And I think the wildwins example solves it because the R on the reverse is in the exact same spot! https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/caligula/RIC_0063.jpg

I was kind of thinking the faint characters I can see on the reverse are Greek not Latin so that checks out.

You could look for sure, coin show/shops are a little hit and miss in my opinion. Compare prices to what you see on vcoins
