- Legend indiscernible -
On the obverse of the coin vaguely a face with a long neck can be seen facing left. At times in the right light 'he' seems to have a very long neck.

Reverse of the coin is worn practically flat but still a very large SC can vaguely bee seen. Countermark : TI.C(.A). It is placed upside down on the C of the SC.

TI.C.A being a known countermark of Claudius. Mine only shows TI.C. If so the coin would
have had heavy circulation being countermarked during his era.
Stephen Minnoch's Feelings : "Not sure but it looks like perhaps traced of a wreath
around the S C on the rev ? No sign of an additional legend. S C is crude (S larger than
the C). This suggests the coin is from the Antiochene S C series, issued for just about
every emperor! Countermark may be TI CÆ (Tiberius Caesar). This is the only countermark
on Eastern provincials I can find that fits with what you wrote."
