Sounds like it might be a Massachusetts cent or half cent, except for the non English legends, looking forward to pictures.

Found origin is a 700 B.C. Caesar head on one side, standing eagle on the other copper,bronze Greek coin. From what I found it is very valuable, I think my father paid $10 for it :headbang:

700 B.C.?

Some archaeological and literary evidences suggest that the Indians invented coinage, somewhere between the 6th to 5th century BC.[6] However, some numismatists consider coins to have originated ca. 600-550 BC in Anatolia, which corresponds to modern-day Turkey, in particular in the Anatolian kingdom of Lydia.

Would be nice...
