Hey all!

I have had this coin for a few years now and have always wondered as to it's origin, value, and age.

Although I have looked through many databases and pictures I have never found one quite like it.

Since I'm not much of a coin collector I have decided to turn to you all, who hopefully can help me!

Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions about the coin or if you need better pictures!!

Oh I forgot to put this in the main post!

The coin is made of silver as best I can tell,

It weighs 0.2oz or 6 grams and is roughly 25mm across or a little bigger than a penny.

Thanks again for the help!

The reverse look pretty normal for a late roman coin. But the front seems like a barbaric coin. seems like some sort of fantasy.

Modern fantasy piece loosely based on Roman designs.

The reverse legend is PM TRP [X?]/II COS IMP, which is actually kind of reasonable for a Roman coin, though in ridiculous style and probably a mishmash of titles.
The obverse, on the other hand, doesn't look Roman at all.

I don't think it's real silver.

I agree, not a genuine ancient coin.
