I honestly have no clue - I just found this as I was counting through spare change. After a little research (although still pretty lost), it seems like a Roman coin because it is 15.5mm in length and the laurel around the head. I'm not sure which emperor it would be (or if it's actually Greek - I'm not very experienced in this type of stuff). The thing I had trouble reading was the back: no matter what I searched up, I couldn't find anything like it. It seems like two skeletons with an odd I-don't-even-know-what-to-call-it in between. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Can you provide a clearer picture this one is too blurry? What I can tell you is that it is a late Roman Bronze of one of the members of Constantine I family, most likely Constantius II.

Search for two soldiers with standard and Echizento is probably right about the emperor

The reverse legend is GLORIA EXERCITVS (Glory of the Army). The emperor could be one of a whole load that issued this in the 4th century, AD, but the bust's hair is very nearly unique to Constantius II and Constans, and based onthe length of the legend, Id suggestt his is of Constantius II.
