Strange portrait of Caligula. Doesn't really look like him at all ... If not for the legend I would have guessed Claudius.

M67 nice coin, looks like it has some tooling, I saw one with the same portrait and 2 stars, but the seller used the term Drachma...

Interesting looking coin. I believe it's real but like Eng said the obverse looks tooled. Denarius of Caligula aren't easy to come buy, but I don't know if I would chance this one.
