It looks like a Septimius Severus denarius, this one: http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric....rius?lang=en

But, the WRL stamped on the neck stands for Westair Reproductions Limited, so it's a modern copy.

Good spotting, erafjel. Definitely a Westair replica. Not quite sure how or why a Westair replica would be snapped into pieces like that, but there you go.

Thanks had a feeling it was a replica because of the WRL stamp.
