Hello! I believe you may have a Roman Provincial Coin from Nicaea in Bithynia. The type with Severus Alexander of about that size is pretty common. Does it...
First, a small bit of advice: it helps if you can add a direct link to the image; if you can get it into your browser, you can cut the Address window's ...
That is a very clever idea to add the aluminum foil! You've done a great job of attribution; a pity the mintmark seems to be obliterated. I can't really add...
