Happy New Year, everyone! Please help me identify the below coin. I am trying to valuate it as well. Thank you in advance!

Well, it says Hadrianus on the obverse (suspiciously clearly given the condition!) and it looks like Dacia on the reverse. It has traces of S C in the reverse field. So that would make it:

Hadrian RIC II, Part 3 (second edition) 1648-1654 (Sestertius, made of Orichalcum) http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric....dn.1648-1654

or

Hadrian RIC II, Part 3 (second edition) Hadrian 1655-1662 (Dupondius or As, made of Bronze) http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric....dn.1655-1662

There are a lot of varieties based on what Hadrian is wearing and what angle he is viewed from. He looks laureate and draped like Hadrian 1650 (would weigh 20g+) http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_3(2).hdn.1650 and Hadrian 1658 (would weigh 10-15g) http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_3(2).hdn.1658, but it's hard to tell.

It's surely not worth much at all in that condition.

With that bubbly appearance, my assumption would be that it's a cast counterfeit.
