holy crap that thing is pristine! I was happy finding a 1957 silver US dime last week. Can't imagine finding such a spectacular piece as yours. As mentioned above, this is a potential banner-worthy find!

Congrats on some great finds

We think we have an old coin when we find an 1850 or so....hard to imagine a Roman coin thousands of years old...Good job with those goodies!!!

That's a banner find you have. The Empress was eventually exiled and ordered strangled by her husband.

Spectacular find soapy, and the condition is outstanding.

I'm always amazed with the finds that get posted from " across the pond". Really spectacular. Congratulations on some fantastic finds in fantastic condition. HH

Congrats

Dads thoughts:

Oldsoapy has a great Plautilla and a denarius which I think is similar to the following

Severus Alexander 225 AD. IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG, laureate, draped bust right / PM TR P IIII COS P P, Mars walking right, holding spear and trophy.

Many thanks to your Dad , l think its Severus Alexander too. funny how two coins found in the same field not too far apart can be in so different condition. the Plautilla is pristine and the Severus is almost flakey. must be the quality of the metal perhaps.

Yes, many of our Sev Alex. are debased silver.
