I had expected more. The seller did not list any information at all !
"Roman Coin" So I took a chance

1.99 grams 17-18mm
Almost certainly bronze it seems much too light to be a "Limes" denarius. But it cannot be anything else really.

I tell you what, ill save you the heart ache and take it off your hands.

Thats a great reverse legend and one I've only found on Denarii. So if its Bronze, does that not make it a Limes Denarius?

I assume it must be a Limes. But 1.99 grams seems rather far to the low end of the spectrum !
Very thin flan.

It was an impulse buy on my part. If you are interested Ben I will think it over.
