I'm not seeing any detail to be able to ID the coin.

Waouh, it's condition makes it almost impossible to say anything. Even with an identification, the coin won't be of great value in its present state...

Ron, any thoughts on how @antetini might be able to salvage this coin to see if any remnant detail might be uncovered? Perhaps several weeks in a bath of olive oil? Or, would you start right off with something stronger? Since this appears to be essentially a slug of bronze, I'm thinking that more extreme measures could not hurt the value.

Dave, honestly I don't think anything could be done to improve this coin and be able to ID it. The surface is just too corroded.

I agree with Ron..
Just as a trial maybe try a pencil trace,can sometimes reveal odd letters..especially around 10/11 oclock on the 2nd photo...night be worth a try..
