Hey! I got this coin some time ago and now I got interested in knowing more about it. It is a silver coin of Julia Titi (daughter of Emperor Titus). The obverse clearly says "IVLIA AVGVSTA TITI AVGVSTI F", which is a usual inscription for a coin of Julia Titi. However, on the reverse, only a few letters are readable "...LIBERA..."
I searched online for coins of Julia Titi, but found none that would have the same reverse. Can anyone please tell me more about it? Is the coin worth anything? Thanks in advance for any help!

Portrait doesn't look like her.

Never mind the portrait ! The coin appears to be a low grade casting.
A quick look at the listings in Sear show only Venus and Salus as reverse types.
I am 99% sure this one is a dud.

While it is not the standard obverse of Julia Titi, there are coins matching this - taking into account what I state below.
What you have there is in my opinion some sort of cast using the obverse of a Julia Titi coin or reproduction and the reverse from another coin. Not only is the mismatch suspicious but the grainy surface as well.

Ollie: to the CCF!

This coin is a modern cast replica, unfortunately.

A modern replica? Well, that's unfortunate... I got it as a part of a collection I inherited, so I never had a chance to ask the previous owner about it.
Anyway, thank you all for your opinions & help!
