OK, there is not much to go on for this one, so I wouldn't be surprised if no responses are received. I'll give it a shot...
Here's what I know: Min/Max Diameter: 25-27mm Weight: 7.2g Material: Probably Brass, shines like gold (but I wouldn't be so lucky). Thanks!

It kind of reminds me of NASA footage of asteroids.

Still, it's a coin, it's large, and it's brass, with the only visible features a standing figure on the reverse, with text around. My best guess: Roman Provincial, Viminacium - they issued a brief but prolific series of coins with this design.

That's a good guess, sap - I'm still working on this beast. I may be tearing the thing apart in the process, but at this point, it's more an exercise of curiosity. My thinking is that it may be a Nero/Agrippina double head - hopefully the next pics will show that. Thanks again!

Here's an update. I worked some more on it, so maybe we can identify this hunk of metal. I am leaning towards http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RPC_2545.jpg
