Yesterday I found what looks like a Roman coin near Maastricht. I haven't properly cleaned it yet as I am not quite sure how to. I can definitely make out a head and laurel wreath. The symbol at the back is a bit more mysterious. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
best,
Richard

Late Roman bronze of an emperor, maybe Constantine II. I think reverse is globe on altar. Your pic has it upside down. Can't see mint mark if it's still there. You might find a match on Vcoins.com or other ancient coin sites.
You can use the search line here on CCF and your internet browser, how to clean ancient coins. Your coin is in bad shape, not worth much, you won't affect the value by cleaning it. But in my opinion it's not worth cleaning unless you want to for fun.
