So a friend who knows that I am into coin collecting and numismatics brought this to me and I'm unsure of the origin and history behind it. . If anybody could help me identify it and give me a little bit of context as to the history of the coin and value I would greatly appreciate it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19k...usp=drivesdk

Sorry to say this, but it is a replica - not only is the style of the lettering incorrect for the period, but Roman coins with the large "SC" on them are always copper coins, never silver.

Your coin is therefore a "tourist copy" (wrong metal) of a copper as, struck in the name of general Agrippa, a friend and companion-at-arms of Augustus. Genuine examples of this coin can be seen on this Wildwinds page.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Ty very much for that info. I'm glad this forum exists. I'd be helplessly over my head in this trying to learn anything without places like this and people like blue ridge silver hound on YouTube. Thank you
