So, you've heard about old ancient roman coins right? Some silver. Some gold, some even platinum and palladium. Don't forget your classic rhodium )even tho it wasn't established as a precious metal until the 1800's, it still was used in ancient days in the BC era of our mother planet earth. So does such a coin exist? One that is to the fullest a one of a kind item?? No..
It can't be..
But wait, this is not gold. This is a ... A .... WHAT!?!

And it continues.
It's palladium for those of you who don't already realize that.

The only palladium Roman coins that I know depict the wooden statue of Palladium, sometimes called Pallas Athena or Minerva--but not the precious metal.

I can't I'd it.
It's been checked by local coin dealers and all they tell me is its very very soft and feels like a precious metal.
Looks like bronze almost. But has gold look on the sides.
Idk and help would be great..

The reverse legend of your coin will end in "COS IIII" meaning Consul Quartum--'consul for the 4th time'.

Variant of Antoninus Pius, Billon Tetradrachm of Alexandria, Egypt. Dated Year 2. 138-139 - Billion is an alloy made of 60% copper and 40% silver. This would account for the softness and gold-like color. Don't assume it's rare just because someone cannot find an exact match on Google....get it to someone who specializes in ancient coins.

(Wikipedia) Billon coins from the Roman Empire, where progressive debasements of the Roman denarius and the Roman provincial tetradrachm in the 2nd century AD led to declining silver and increasing bronze content in these denominations of coins. Eventually, by the third quarter of the 2nd century AD, these coins were almost entirely bronze, with only a thin coating or even a wash of silver.
