Very nice pendant with circle gold i think. I wish you luck.
 

I don't know about the coin but the bezel definitely looks like gold. Someone will be able to answer about the coin, I would think. Nice find.
 

it's Roman bronze coin, I said the first-second century:hello2:

It looks like a tetradrachm from the eastern part of the Roman Empire - Antioch would be my guess. I don't have my references in front of me at the moment, but the emperor looks like one of the short-lived generals that seized power in the late 3rd century, Carus, Probus, Diocletian maybe?
 

Sweet find Chris!! I looked in the reference book I have of coins from England and didn't find anything like it as I was thinking Roman coin too. Good luck with the ID.
 

could it be a fantasy coin?
 

could it be a fantasy coin? looks like a date is on it?
 

Not sure why my link went to front page but the coin I was thinking was closest to mine was the last one on the left, if you scroll all the way down??? still not sure but it looks close enough.

possible that you are right that some of those mentioned,
most likely it comes to forging provincial egypt-greece

I think you are right. The one on the bottom left of the page you linked to looks a lot like it to me.

This one:

Ya Mon! That's it for sure. The one I found looked like L S but yours is L Z which is what is on mine. Not bad, found it in the sand after a full moon party here.

Thanks,
Chris
