Ok so I got a small old looking coin in a lot several weeks ago. Finally getting around to asking for help. It weighs 1.2 grams. Its very small fits on my fingertips. I thought it was a widow's mite maybe, but couldn't find any with the same design. There isn't any text that I think is still readable. So kinda have to base it on pictures alone. These are the best pictures I can come up with (my phone doesn't like close ups).

Looks like a Constantius II but I really can't make out enough detail for certain. Too many variations.

It's 13 mm was probably a little bigger originally. Tried using http://www.romancoin.info to id it but can't find it. On the back it looks like someone hunting a small animal or a mermaid. The front has a guy with a head band but a lot look like that.

Most likely a Constantine 111, but with out a lot of detail left, it will be very hard to get an exact match.

Assuming it's as CRU mentioned, 'Victory advancing left', then another part of the description might be "holding a laurel wreath".. or 'holding wreath'.
