Hi, having trouble matching this Roman coin … found a few similar, but none quite matching.

 

Size - 18.5-19.5mm

weight - 2g

appearance - bronze

 

looks like an altar on one side with 4 quadrants, looks like a flame on top ?

reverse is a radiated head of the emperor (  I presume ?)

 

 

any help would be much appreciated,

thanks

Hello

 

Can you read any legends on the obverse. I cannot tell which emperor this coins is from.

the coin you have looks to be near the bottom of this page. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=rome&r=consecratio+altar&ct=coin&im1=&im2=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=3&no=&v=&i=&b=&d=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&w=&mt=&g=&se=&c=&wi=&sw=

Maybe. It has reverse lettering CONSECRATIO like yours. 

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

 I see another reply while I was making mine. 

Looks like DIVO on left of portrait.

Hi, yes, it does look very similar …… could mine be silver, and the missing weight and size be due to the missing bits of the coin ? 
 

I’m reasonably new to the hobby so not sure how to tell what the metal composition actually is ….

 

thanks

Thanks ZacUK and FeeFoo …..

 

i have found a couple near to the size and weight of mine …..

the first one appears to be closer and seems to match with DINO or DIVO to the left of the portrait ….

 

Thoughts ?

Yes, it looks very similar in lettering and portrait. I was looking at this coin before too.
