Somewhat different to what I have seen before but hope there is someone that can point me in the right direction.

It would help if you would put the coin right way up and crop the picture to get a bigger image size of the coin.  I cannot see much on the reverse, but the obverse looks like an ancient imitation of a third century A.D. Roman coin, perhaps of Claudius II.

Hi Barry- I have rotated and cropped your pics. It looks like a third century barbarous radiate to me from the obverse. I can’t tell much from your pic of the reverse. Check out barbarous radiates and you might find your answer. Later-
