I need help with this one. Everything seems correct with it except the reverse which has stumped me. The Obverse looks like a Tribute to Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus but the Reverse is a VENVS Victrix.

The coin is accurate in terms of weight and dimensions (3.85g / 19.78mm Diameter)

I haven't been able to find one like it. Fake or oddity? Any ideas or other references?

Let me know if better pictures are needed. the lighting was a bit off.

Yes The reverse says VENVS AVGVST. VENVS Victrix is the motif - the bare bottomed version holding a helmet

t is silver (lighting was bad - tested with XRF.) and all dimensions are correct. I was leaning towards fake since the reverse and obverse didn't match up.
