Looks like a Roman or Greek coin.

Coin from ancient Rome, likely used in trade with the native Americans 2,000 years ago by a rouge classical age explorer. All documentation and physical traces of his globetrotting sea voyages have since been lost to time - say for this one coin.

Only thing that makes sense! Those romans sure looked like KG1 though and made some thick coins man!

I know it sounds silly but almost looks like a nickel that has been covered with some kind of crust.

So my outlandish theory has some potential validity after all... 🤔

I knew you were on to something it just felt right (I probably would've thrown in a time-travel angle as well) or it's some amazingly strong and localized current rendered possible by the current state of global remiss and with this in mind a simple rogue wave in the aegean sea perfectly agitated an amphora full of Sistertius' tax money and blew one single coin onto the periphery of a florida beach. Righteous!

I was down at Predido Keys first week of February this year. Frik'n cold it was. My daughter rented a condo and got down there and said there was plenty of room and ask me and my wife if we wanna come down, so we jumped on a plane and headed down. I did read about some early Spanish settlements in that area, but due to some hurricanes they gave up on settling the area until later. I should have brought my MD. Me and the grandson did have fun looking for shells. To him those were real treasures.

My parents used to live a short distance from there. They lived in a retirement community called Spanish Cove. It was in Lillian, Alabama. Beautiful area. They really loved the area there.
