I suspect the sheen of this is too much and that it may have been cast. However, I couldn't find any traces other than what appear to be bubble marks, so I'd like to ask this community members. Below are the photos of the coin. Please understand that the image quality is not clear due to the 300k limit.

Welcome to CCF!

I'm not an expert, but it appears to be genuine, likely cleaned years ago. I think it's a Domitian with Fortuna reverse, may be an asserion depending on size, weight?

Here is a similar looking one, my Nero sesterius, Roma reverse.

Looks a little like a cast, but the color is reasonably accurate for a slightly brassy AE, so perhaps just a little porosity/corrosion.

Domitian, AE (cons. yr. XV = 90-91 AD); presumably a dupondius based on the color, since we don't have a weight provided here.
