Have been collecting modern coins for years. I stumbled over this in my collection, but I have no idea what it is. Any help would be very much appreciated.

It is thinner than a modern dime, and about 0.5 inches wide.

The thin one is a small bronze for Constantius II  (DN CONSTANTIVS PF AVG) from the third workshop of Alexandria (FEL TEMP REPARATIO ALE gamma), the thick one is a sestertius from Rome for Gordianus III (IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG) with on the reverse Apollo seated left and a legend lsuch as  PM TR P IIII COS II PP  SCon the exergue.

Please read the rules--one coin to a thread or it gets too complicated.
