hello, please help with identification. Found recently in southern Poland. Probably suberatus. Which emperor might it be?

It appears to be a fouree (unofficial copper core coin) of the emperor Septimius Severus.

I found also that denarii of S. Severus had only 47% of silver in alloy, so it might be typical denarius from that period, unnecessarily suberatus

what do You think?

Coins of Septimius Severus tend to be plentiful and not very rare. Of course there are always exceptions. Your coin being and unofficial issue is not rare at all and based on it's condition might have a value of $15-$20 US.
