Can someone identify my roman imperial coin? I think its the RIC 438 with Nero, but I am not sure. And I cannot find a real worth of the coin in the internet, so if someone can help me, I would be thankful.

Thanks,  Stopha

Hi,are you sure it's genuine? The reverse doesn't look right,looks like its been cast. Hope I wrong though.

My feeling too, looks too modern. Could be one of those museum replica tokens

Hi, thanks for the answers. You should I now if it is genuine or not?
The text on the front side is NERO CLAUD CAESAR AUG GER PMTRP IMP PP and on the back side PACE PR TERRA MARIQ PORTA IANUM CLUSIT SO. I try to load up an other pierre tomorrow.  
Thank you.

Unfortunately it looks like a silver replica. On the bust, just below the back of the neck, it looks like a "925" stamp.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.

Yeah,  you are right. What does the 925 mean?

Thank you.  What would you think is the  worth of the coin?  Or does the coin really have a worth?

I'm not sure, but if it is sterling silver then probably just melt value
