I'v got this old worn coin. I doubt its worth any thing, but I would like to at least know what it is and where it is from. It's pretty thick, thick as two US quarters together. A quarter is what I have in the images for scale. It has some writing on it tho I can make out what it says. Looks like "DIVAFAY" or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome, thank you. That is way more details than I was expecting. Roman huh? That's pretty cool.
