this is an unknown roman, 3-4th century, and it appears to be silver or at least silvered.

Weight 1.94 grams, 20 millimeters in diameter.

The portrait appears to be a radiate. Facing right on my screen.
The other side shows a figure with arm(s) extending left (or at least left on my screen)

Likely too far gone to tell for certain. Based on the shape of the nose and chin, I'm going to go with Claudius II, but with some imagination it could maybe be Tetricus II.

An option is to do the trick with paper and a pencil. Maybe you'll get some readable letters

Thanks. You can tell a bit more "in person", and since I am not seeing a beard, maybe it is tetricus.
