small metal disc

[marshall2702]

hi i had a couple of hours out this morning in a field in milton on the edge of cambridge in the uk that has recently been ploughed and i dug this small metal disc it gave a +55 on the vdi scale of my whites metal detector.
im not sure if this is a small hammered coin or not as its quite badly worn , i can see some bits of detail on it but not much what do you guys think ?

i put it next to a uk 5 pence piece for size comparison.

thanks for looking !!!

I think it may be a Roman Bronze Coin, with two standing figures..I see you are from Cambridge, which makes it even more likely

100% a Roman bronze Coin but looks to be 1 figure standing holding spear Circa 4th C AD.

Neat find!! 55 VDI would be about right for a small bronze alloy coin. Tony

Thx for your help guys I was hoping it was a roman hammered coin as the oldest coin I've had so far is a 1906 penny lol this has made my day

Although part of the Roman coin manufacturing process was to hammer it, its not a word usually associated with Roman Coins but one used for later medieval Silver.
