No idea where it came from. Have had it for 40+ years. Never shown to anyone. Never asked anybody. Knight with a lance riding a horse on one side; roman numerals underneath. Symbol and partial date on the other side. Would love some help. Thanks !

I would say definitely Russian, probably 2 kopecks. What is the weight and diameter?

There is a similar coin here:

Pretty sure that's it - Russia 2 kopek, Yekaterinburg mint (EM), dated 1773 or 1775 (can't really tell from the photo).

This is a relatively common numismatic theme.
