Domitian Identification Help

Looks like an assarius (based on dimensions and weight) of Domitian - reverse is Minerva standing left with thunderbolt, shield and spear, a real classic Domitian reverse. The year is marked on the reverse, but has not survived the ages very well - I think I can read TR P COS VII, which would make it this one, minted in 81AD:

Domitian, Rome.
AE As. AD 81.
IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG PM, Laureate head right
TR P [COS VII DES VIII]? P P S-C, Minerva standing left, holding spear.
RIC 78; Cohen 555; London 261-262; Paris 276-277.

Clearer pictures might be able to pin it down - also, the fields have a bit of chatter, which can be evidence of casting, so a good picture could clear that up.

RIC 78 is a Sestertius. This looks like a dupondius to me. Possibly RIC 82. I think I see a thunderbolt, spear and shield on the reverse. However, I cannot tell if it is real or not from that photo.

Yes it is a copper "As"
Unfortunately the modern hole kinda takes a bite out of the bottom line here
When it was drilled the coin probably cost no more than a dollar (or two !)
Prices have gone up !
Ancient holes can sometimes be acceptable as being historical
People had fond feelings for Augustus and sometimes wore him
Domitian ....... not so much
As it is now though this one might be more valuable as a fob
Worth keeping more for the novelty
