Ancient? Reproduction? Or Token?

[Mzjavert]

I found this while searching a tot lot. When I dug it up I thought it was a road kill dime due to the thin edge. It sort of looks ancient to me. At the same time I'm thinking it's made to look old for jewelry, except I don't see where it had a loop. I also know reproduction old coins have been made.

...oh let me quit rambling and show you the pictures.







The only thing else I have to add is that this coin is not magnetic.

Thanks for any and all opinions.

It looks real.

It appears to be Roman and probably bronze or silver...

You may want to consult the folks over at US Coins | Ancient Coins | World Coins | VCoins.com. They seem to have an extensive catalog. Good luck.

Late Roman Bronze, looks to be a fallen horseman type. Can't make out much of the lettering in the photo.

^that might help you.

Such coins (particularly in that grade) are not rare and are rarely, if ever, faked. So you've got a genuine Roman bronze dating from ~200-400 AD.

Thanks to everybody for their help. I am so excited. I don't care if it's common. This was truly the last thing I would have ever expected to find in an elementary school tot lot. I really thought the chances of this being real was about 2%. LOL, I expected to have to go to Europe to find such a coin.

Thanks for giving me a place to find out more about this coin.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
