Bronze, 4.42 grams, 17.85 mm. The legends on the obverse and reverse are written in Latin (S, G, R) except for a letter at the 5 o'clock position which appears to be a delta and this mixture of Latin and Greek was never used. It has no S-C as far as I can see, so is not an imperial coin. The female bust on the reverse (facing someone else, it seems) has a hairstyle used by early empresses until the end of the first century or so, at which time long plaits were passé. But the obverse is not an imperial issue of the emperors from Augustus to Domitian who never used only ..VS AVG without the addition of e.g. DIVI, CAESAR, CAES, VESP etc. in the legend. If it is Colonial coin which used Latin legends, it is not in RPC I or II with just ..VS AVG, nor any colonial legends with ARO, ARC or ARG in the reverse legend. The countermark: The capricorn (turn the coin through 90 deg. to the right to see the capricorn leaping right) exists on Claudius' imperial coinage, (applied in the Balkan regions) (as well as some coins of Vespasian and Augustus) but then we again have the problem of the non-existent obverse legend and mixed languages. Fine.
