Despite there being little to no detail to this coin, I'm still very fond of it. I'm actually proud of myself that I was able to attribute it at all given how warn the coin is. The obverse depicts Emperor Tiberius is considered one of the great 12 Roman emperors. The reverse has SC in large text which indicates it was minted and distributed under the authority of the roman senate. Better examples of this coin can be found here: RIC 1 44
