Need Help With Coin Identification

This may get more attention and information from the ancients forum. You can ask the mods to move it if you like.

I don't know much about ancient coins but this looks like Roman - Trajan Decius from around 250 AD. I wouldn't know more details about it, but there are a lot of coins out there that appear similar from around that time. Hope that helps.

Sap:

Is is an old worthpoint memory of a pair of coins I sold that were filed for Jewelry. If you look at the photo of the edges in the listing boy they seriously did some filing on these.

If the coin was rounded to fit that bezel it is worth more intact so respectfully I'd not take it out. If you really wanted a Trajan Decius coin they are easy enough to come by. You have your origin as "Macedonia" and if you wrote that as being from modern Northern Macedonia or you wrote it with historical thought to ancient Macedonia, Trajan Decius died in the area (Moesia was the ancient name) and was the first Roman to die to a foreign enemy. So maybe if you got it in that area someone was proud of the history and actually mounted this emperor intentionally as they admired the man. Apparently I just read when his son died in a battle with him he told the men to not be upset as the death of one soldier would not affect Rome greatly. I am just saying the item has a history now all it's own with the bezel. And I think it is a genuine ancient coin. That would be a strange coin to make a replica of and it looks fine to me on the surface. Also, your friend probably had the coin in the bezel and just wanted to give it to you. I don't think she intentionally made that for you and when you said you wanted the coin outside the bezel she still just gave you what she had. It is well done the way it is mounted and I suspect it was placed there quite a long time ago. I deal in estates and I get these quite often, they were just interesting to people this way to wear I imagine.
