Ancient coin

[17GoCubsGo44]

Hey y'all! Unfortunately this was not found whole metal detecting, but it was my grandpa's. I've been dealing with American coinage my whole life, and have books for 1700-2016, but I am absolutely ignorant on ancient coinage. Could anyone help me on information about this coin?

Can you give a good discription of what you can make out such as letters, numbers, scene depiction?

You can rule out Roman.

great attempt at an ID, not a match, but a clue and direction

Because I know what Roman Coins look like.
