15 years ago I bought an old looking coin in Jordan in the vicinity of old Roman temples. The diameter is aboout 14 mm.

6can you possibly add a few better (less blurry photographs) also what is the weight of the coin.– ed.hankAug 19, 2019 at 17:23

What metal does the coin appear to be made of? The bottom picture looks like it has an image of a Hellenistic, Roman, or Medieval rulers, while the top image looks like it has something like a Roman standard. That could be the standard of a Hellenistic(?) or Roman military unit, or a religious standard connected to a temple.– MAGoldingAug 19, 2019 at 20:05

This appears to be a follis of Constantine I or II I'm no expert, but not being able to find a match for the letters on the reverse and the wobbliness of the standard make me wonder if it is an (ancient) fake? I also suspect that the second picture is flipped; can this be confirmed?– user31561Aug 19, 2019 at 20:56

1by taking its volume and weight i think you can get a good idea of metal (if pure). btw, looks like you have not tried to clean it -- great, don't do it! touch it as little as possible.– releseabeAug 20, 2019 at 0:18
