Burned down roman farm

[Westfront]

Did the roman homestead from last week again for 3 hours. Some keepers popped up. The Sestercius of Commodus 177–192 AD on the shard is clearly been in a fire. Not easy to see on the pics. So this home burned down some time. You can't tell if is was by accident or if it was plundered. Also a copper showed up. Diameter and thickness is like a silver coin... Not identified, but it looks like a counterfeit with the silver washed off.
Thanks for looking!

The 3 casings are cal. .50+ .50 bullet in front of them. The bullet under the casings is a black tipped .30-06 Garand.

Commodus Sestertius. Struck 181/182 AD. M ANTONINVS COMMODVS AVG, laureate head right / TR P VII IMP IIII COS II P P S-C, Mars advancing right, carrying spear & trophy. Cohen 823. * Sear RCV 5813 * WildWinds.com
I think Dad got it for you?

The 'fake' Spanish coin is interesting.

At least it comes very close! Thanks to Crudad! Looks like a different die with the speartip at the bottom of IIII, and on the wildwinds coin the tip is between IIII and C of Commodus.

I still haven't ID the "Fake" coin, bad condition and clipped....at least clipped lookalike... My guess is around 1500 as there is no date.

At first I thought the coin might have been an old counterfiet 8 reale??

Nice coin WF, one day I will have to make my way over the pond to get me some of those old ones.
I'm with Cru, 8 reale counterfiet.
