What you have looks like a widow's mite (type of coin). Infact One of the smallest coins in greek/roman times. Dictionary - a small monetary contribution from someone who is poor.

About the athor: I have been collecting roman coins and coins in general sence summer of 2015. I have nothing of high value or Quality I just enjoy the thought of the Journey it took to get into my hand. 2000 years of history! Age13-

Did you purchase or inherit this? Do you collect coins? If not than you need to! It is a fun and interesting hobby! That coin is probably real and is probably 2000 years old! Astonishing find!

Definitely a widow's mite. They are not horribly expensive, but people really seem to like them. Make sure yours does not have a casting seam around it, and barring that I'm thinking original. A nice strike also.
