This is smallest coin of my harvest of Roman coins. measure 6.5 millimeters of diameter.

It has stayed englobed in a washer (?) of  iron hour completely oxidized.
To my seem the monogram that I see resemble that of Anastasius I.
What is yours to seem?

Thank you.

Yes.  I think it is a very small coin of a later emperor (Anastasius, perhaps) inside a circle of iron.  But what was the iron used for?  Maybe it was jewelery or perhaps a ring. ???

Perhaps, but they wouldn't make a ring out of iron... ugly and too heavy. Maybe it was stuck in pipe? ???
