There's no mention of Domitian, albeit an interesting coin. This is a mule fourree, the obverse of this coin reads IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG PM, but the reverse reads VENVS AVGVSTI, which is usually the reverse type for Julia Titi, his daughter.
Thank you for information.
Do you think this could be a "moprh"? My theory is that this could be a Barbaric imitation that scrambled 2 coins in one.

Hello,
Yesterday a coin was brought to me.
It looks like a Titus Denarius. Propably a Counterfeit within Roman Empire or made by Barbarians?
If anyone would know more?.
Thank you very much and have a wonderfull day.

Difficult to explain other than everything about the style of this coin is wrong. I have never once seen a coin plated in any work look like this. Having handled thousands of coins from this era and soent significant time sifting through sales archives, I am unaware of any genuine example like this. Find an example like it in an institution…you wont. Dont presume odd style indicates an imitative origin. It could just as well be fake (as is the case here).
A coin not being in museum or other establishment does not neccesary mean its a fake, in my country i handled coins that are known in 1 or 2 examples that not even museums have. I tend to think its a imitation or unofficial issue rather than a fake. Thank you everyone for the insight. Lovely forum i discovered

fake of a tornese
Hello, what makes you think its a fake? It looks well struck, the detail is also fine overall i believe its a period coin but of unknown origin. Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Thank you very much, have you any idea in what part of the empire could it be struck?

So coin has been identified.
It is believed to be a Pfennig of Wenceslaus II. from around 1303, minted during the reign over Hungary and part of Austria. Known in 3 examples found in a horde in south Moravia.
