@lonelyguy21, first welcome to CCF. Second, while your pics are pretty far out of focus, this looks like an old Roman coin. I'll recommend to the mods that your post be moved there so that the right eyeballs see it.

You really need to provide a focused picture, the size and the weight.

Diameter is the same as a Australian 5 cent piece or 19mm

Looks like an Alexandrian tetradrachm with Tyche (with rudder and cornucopia) and L-E reverse, perhaps Maximianus Herculius.

A couple for comparison. Clearer pic of the obverse will help.

Yes that looks like the second one and I've searched around and I haven't really found any relevant history.

Maximianus, Tyche, year 5; Milne 4944.

Could this be right ?

Hi,

I would say less than $100 but hard to give you a more precise value.

Looking at CNGCoins sales database, there were large groups sold of these around 10 years ago at around $20 each.

Wildwinds.com will sometimes retain sales price in the description of the coin.

Unfortunately acsearch.info and coinarchives.com now require you to pay to access pricing data.
