A kid that knew I collected coins asked me to help identify this coin. My main focus is on U.S. Coins, so I was unable to help him. Thanks

Not much to go on other than the portrait which to me looks like Domitian.

Well it is the Emperor Domitian without doubt. The reverse at first looked like a temple to me but I think it is an altar. Denomination is copper As and dates from around AD90 give or take.

Ben ..... I am starting to think you dream about provincials ! I believe my first impression may be correct. Sear 2663 Domed Temple of Vesta in the forum with 4 columns. The legend though barely visible shows CAESAR AVG .... This makes it a Domitian as Caesar type and the temple conveniently fits right in. A shame about the condition Sear lists $280 in F and $720 in VF. Still might fetch a 20 as a rare variety

Wow, thanks for the information on the coin. I am excited to hear how old the coin is and I am sure the kid will be too. Thanks again
