Well, I was going to put in a guess for Iggy's note, then I saw Joshua's guess and waited to see if that was the right guess, and it was

Now to see Joshua's item

Is this thing made from a precious metal?

I really wasn't sure what price to go with so I went high this time

Good guess DoctorBurnzy and a very good price for such a lovely coin

RWC112 can't guess yet, as the next coin hasn't been posted yet...

Indeed a cool coin
I found one last year in my local area in a nice XF, and yes, they should carry some premium due to both features. The die crack connecting the first 1 in the date to the star is a diagnostic of this coin.

So an off center strike of some sort...
I am also assuming there is a readable date.

Is the denomination of this coin 0.10 units of currency or less?

No need for Tarrifs Loonie, as we have a winner and his name is Joshua

I bought this coin off whatnot for a reasonable price of $149.00 for a coin on my want list...
Pontius Pilate under Tiberius Caesar prutah, minted in Jerusalem.
N#96033:

Date is marked LIZ, and translates to 30-31 AD Gregorian.

Ok, I determined the issues:
Take out script and year, and add Judaea and there is my coin in 17 results. I must not have observed that the script should have been a maybe answer.

As GM, you guys can guess again

This thing could be ancient

It is
As much as I would like to have that Seleucid Empire Chalkon, that is not the coin I am playing...

It also depends on how you guys entered data and to my best knowledge I answered normally. You guys may still get me...
