I'm trying to find some information on a coin which I received a long while ago and believe it to be very old.
It is not perfectly round, comewhat oval shaped, there is a face of some guy with a wreath looking towards the left, and on the other side a scorpion.
The coin is small but quite thick and heavy, looks like it was made of copper/bronze and has some green oxidation around some of the features mentioned above.
If I were to hazard a guess, it looks Roman / Greek and it looks genuine, but I have no means to tell.
Can someone help?
I can take pictures and send if necessary.
Many thanks in advance.
