hi,
I have a Roman coin, but I don't have any information about it. So could anyone please tell me about its history and its price.

Hello and welcome to the Forum,

My eyes aren't what they used to be. Can you make out the letters on the obverse after IMP, I having a hard time seeing them. The bust almost looks like Gordian III, but I don't think it is.

Is there anyway you can post larger pictures? I cannot see the letters either.

Based on these, it could be Severus Alexander Gordian III.

I read it as IMP CAES M AN..., which fits with Gordian III. Looks like a VICTORIA AVG reverse, similar to this one except Victoria's walking the other way.

The portrait is certainly that of Gordian III, confirming the opinions above.

It actually looks suspiciously like a cast copy -- though larger pictures would help here

I have been thinking the same as Bacchus but the images are too poor to be conclusive. It could be a worn, porous, over-cleaned example or it could be a cast reproduction.
