ROMAN EMPIRE, Unknown AE 17
The reverse is a crude pictograph with a central figure being attacked by a figure to left, third figure observes in upper right.  Below the central figure is a foot print and horse head.
The coin is 17mm. AR
It appears to be an imitation of the "Fallen Horseman" FEL TEMP REPARATIO type struck by Constantius II, among others. The person cutting the die apparently didn't realize that he had to cut the mirror image of the coin into the die. He ended up with a left-facing bust on the obverse, while the reverse has the soldier on the left and the fallen horseman on the right instead of the usual horseman on the left, soldier on the right.
