Unidentified Roman Ancient Coin

5 posts • viewed 76 times
Hello,
I am quite new to the challenging but fun game of trying to identify ancient coins. I have pretty successfully been able to identify my first couple of purchases but this one has stumped me. I would very much appreciate some help from those that hopefully are a little more versed in the game of ancients than myself.

Some details about the coin, to me looks bronze but not sure.
The weight is 1.96 grams, the diameter varies since it has such a strange shape but at it's widest is just over 20mm and at a more reasonable point is just under 18mm. Thickness looks about 1mm or just a bit over. I will provide some pictures of the coin as well. Very much looking forward to hopefully nailing what this coin is. Thanks so much in advance!

using these entries
Radiate - the type of crown
18-22 - a range of diameter sizes
Rome - as it looks Roman
Non precious - it does not look silver

I guess could have reduced the results by adding VICTOR* lettering.
The * is for missing letters. That search found it in 13 results. :)

I would really like to thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated. I took some browsing using the information collected by all of you and think that this may be the closest match I could see, but I could be wrong.

The reverse is nearly identical in my opinion. Thanks again
