There is a counterstamp on the eye, I believe.
I'm having trouble up loading the other side hang on and I will find my stupidity.

The color is off on both should be a dark silver.

I'm glad you said "The color is off on both should be a dark silver", because I was going to say that it's a copper counterfeit of an ancient Roman republic denarius, this one to be more precise. But if the colour is actually OK, then I'd lean towards genuine, for now.

3.6 grams is a little light, but this coin looks both worn and clipped, so that doesn't concern me too much.

Thanks Sap. The color is more in line with the one you posted. It has been clipped and well worn. The Reverse pretty much lines up but, the obverse is worn and deceiving. Can't make out the helmet and all the letters but again "thank you!"
