This coin is a contemporary imitation
of Mathias Corvinus who was a king of Hungary)
Originali  it is a silver denarius but this coin is a
imitation.

Thank you very much. But I don't think it's an imitation. I found it in the ground along with silver and bronze dinars from the 1500s. The coat of arms on the back is inverted from the rest of the coins.

You are right the coat of arms on the back is inverted and all the legends also retrograde, and confused, that is
the reason it is a contemporary (ancient, 500 years old ) imitation is that the original is silver, you can see some in my gallery...:

Notice the word contemporary is blue. It links to the following in NumisWiki.

The term contemporary means "at the same time" but is also used as a synonym for "modern."  When the term is used regarding ancient coins or antiquities it always means at the same time (ancient).  The dual meaning is confusing and the term contemporary should be avoided unless the meaning is clear from the context.  The term contemporary should particularly be avoided if the readers will likely include new collectors. 

I suggest if there is any way to avoid the term, it should be avoided. Maybe say it is an "imitative or counterfeit, struck at the same time as the original, official type." licuricicolorat clearly does not understand (and he has quit the discussion).
