It appears to be a Jewish 'lepton' from the 1st century BC; more commonly called a 'Widow's Mite', based on a Bible story as related in Mark 12: 41-44. The image is that of a Seleucid anchor symbolizing maritime strength. The anchor appears upside down, but that was the correct storage position on board a boat. What does the reverse look like? The original coin was made of bronze, weighed about 2 grams and had a diameter of about 16 mm.

Thank you Don it has five what looks like drum sticks on the back arranged in a circle hopes this helps but what a hunt for the first time out with my AT Pro! at an old school house that I have been to a few times with the Ace 250, I only was there for an hour to can't wait to go back!

What you are seeing on the reverse are the 'spokes' (drumsticks) of a wheel.
This site will give you more information.
