This interesting coin is set in a sterling silver bezel to showcase both the front and the back of the coin. Our research indicates that this coin was minted around 211 A.D. It is named after M. Aurelius Antoninus "Caracalla." This coin shows the Emperor wearing a radiate crown as opposed to the typical laurel wreath. On the back is a person holding a staff and an object that looks like a book. We say person because often the Emperor would pay homage to his wife on the back.
We can not determine if the coin is coin silver or bronze. They minted in both metals.
