hello

This 25mm, 5.57g.

Not the best coin, but I like it.

Looks like Antoninus Pius.

My first thought was Caracalla
But I believe I can read AVT M AVP in the 8-11 o'clock region
Something like 15 later emperors adopted the name of Marcus Aurelius but in this case I think it is probably the original
A young portrait of Marcus Aurelius

AV K M AVP (Pretty sure it's a "K," not "T" after "AV":

For comparison to a Caracalla, in this case from Nicopolis ad Istrum, Moesia Inferior, below. Same obverse legend at left, and both apparently have an "A" at 1:00 which, on the Nicopolis coin is part of "ANTWNINOC." Both are about the same size, and with centration dimples too. Different reverses, though.

I appreciate the insight from everyone here... this is a great, but challenging hobby.
I suppose, in 4000AD, American coinage will be rather boring comparatively...

Yes the young "innocent" looking Caracalla
The older portraits generally have him snarling and looking a bit aggressive
At some point he just gave up on the Antoninus Pius/Marcus Aurelius charade
