Someone I work with pulled this out of the cash register a few nights ago, it's roughly the size of a dime and is not magnetic.

This is supposed to be a Roman Denarius stuck by Mark Anthony from his Legend series. In the case of this one it is supposed to be LEG IIII as indicated by the legend under eagle banner. However this coin does not look right to me. I believe it's a cast copy.

Going to move the thread over to the Ancient/Medieval coin for more help.

Any chance we could get a closer look? The details I would need to see are not clear to me at this size.

I've edited the pictures a bit made them a little larger. I still don't like the looks of it.

Something like silver paint appears to have been added to both sides, completely covering one side and patches on the other. The dark metal on the side with the ship looks like a base metal. Not a normal tarnish characteristic.

Unfortunately the coin is not in my possession so I cannot provide any other pictures, I thank you for the replies though.
