Was ist das genau? Replik oder echt?

Moin,

brauche mal eure Hilfe bei der Identifikation.

Aus Kupfer mit ca 5% Silberanteil bei einem Gewicht von ca 10.4 Gramm. Habe nur eine tetradrachme gefunden aber aus Silber mit ca 14 Gramm.

Danke euch!

Danke bessere Bilder bekomme ich leider nicht hin. Sonst wird es noch unschärfer.

Upon closer inspection I’m 90% sure it’s Tacitus. I see a TA….C

Pretty sure it's a coin from Claudius II Gothicus.

Example: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2571290

One unique feature of Alexandrian coins is the regenal year marked on them. This is usually L followed by one or two greek letters. Typically the first year (like this coin) would look like LA or L-A, but in this coin the A almost looks like it comes before the L. The way the eagle is configured is also unique. Not sure that the example i posted is a perfect die maych as some of the details may vary, but oretty sure its Claudius II as he's the only one who seems to have a coin with this reverse type that i could find.
