Hey everyone, was hoping someone might be able to identify this coin which belongs to a friend of mine. Any help is appreciated.

That looks like a reproduction to me, but I'm not a full fledged expert! ;) - Unlike gold and silver issues, Roman Imperial bronze coins contained less than the full nominal value in metal. Their value was supported by the decree of the Senate "Senatus Consulto" or SC. Almost all bronze coins issued before the late third century AD bore the letters SC on the reverse...As you can see on that one, there is a S and there was probably a C also..most probably worn off... My 2 cents!
 
Thanks for the help everyone! Any idea what it's worth?

Not a lot because at some point in the past it was over cleaned. If you got £10 over here, you had a good day, maybe $20.
