@David Atherton : Thanks for the link, i will see to it.
@DonnaML , @expat : I have a Domitianus hypo semis, but there i can read the Emperors name. Here the name is not readable. This one in the picture has a triangle shape in the middle on top of his mouth, that is why i was not shure what it is. Thanks for your opinion, now i am certain.
@Qcumbor : I will look in RPC if i can find something there for Tiberius and Claudius I. Thanks.

@Severus Alexander:
You are right, looking through a microscope to the crack, the coin is an AE4 (copper/bronze )core.
Great eye !
( I corrected the text ).
@Irbguy :
in this regard : this is the explanation in RIC IX on page XXIX:
the bronze underwent many changes, and its relation to the gold and silver in any of its transforations is still a matter of conjecture. it is generaly accepted that the bronze throughout our periode was supposed to contain a slight alloy of silver, with would materially increase its value above that of the normal ratio of unalloyed bronze to gold and silver
( this coin was tested by a silver smidt, there is a slight alloy of silver present on the outside ).
