Similar, but mine is copper or bronze... The bearded man does not have his neck showing... I'm sorry for not being able to post pics... But if a member could assist, I can send pictures from my iPhone to your email and we could post it that way... I'm on a 6 day metal detecting hunt thru Florida and only have my iPhone... Thx all!!

The coin you found if its the one in the pic is not Roman!! Its from Spain the front says Alfonso the 12th for the grace of god 1883 and the back says King Constable of Spain 5 pesetas which is about 3 cents American. It works out at about 170 pesetas to 1 US dollar. The coin was minted in Madrid.

Hello Albert , seem to have already identified the coin as Romania (an European country now) nothing to do with the Romans.
By the way ... you do so far from Spain?
Greetings!

How can a country named after the Romans NOT have anything to do with the Romans?
Romania came into existance after the Romans virtually annihilated the country of Dacia. (very short version)

But i know what you meant friend.
