Good morning all.
Can anyone give me pointers on this coin. The obverse is very worn away, though I can make out a very faint bust when I hold the coin at an angle. The reverse is not much better, but might be recognisable to someone. I apologise about the quality of the photographs.
The coin 15mm in diameter and weighs under 1g.

The images are a too dark to be able to tell. If you can take a lighter picture it would help.

My best guess is a barbaric imitation of a late Roman coin, possibility Constantine or one of his sons. The reverse looks like soldiers and standard.
