One thing that I do know is, that this coin has been in acidic mud.

It does appear to be late Roman, but because of it's condition ID is going to very difficult. I would guess Valentinian I based on a few letters that I can see.

I agree with Echizento he's surely right I can read ..LEN.INI on the coin ,then looking at the bust is surely Valentinianus I.

It was once an AE3 of Valentinian I, likely the "SECVRITAS-REIPVBLICAE".... though it has had its Patina stipped off and then scoured with a brash-bristle brush.
Most of this issue was struck on thin flans of Copper, especially those from the Gallic mints.
