Very little to go on. Resembles a rotted button, or maybe a medieval jeton... could be a lot of things.

Some additional cleaning might help with the ID.

hi Don ive cleaned it up a bit but its just the same, Theres not much to go off. at a rough guess have you any ideas what it could be or looks like. thanks

The coin on the upper right has a "C". To the left of the "C" is the outline of an "S". This combination is common on many Roman coins.
Unlike gold and silver issues, Roman Imperial bronze coins contained less than the full nominal value in metal. Their value was supported by the decree of the Senate "Senatus Consulto" or 'SC'.Almost all bronze coins issued before the late third century AD bore the letters SC on the reverse.

The top left coin reminds me of Roman coins with a "GLORIA EXERCITVS" image; that of two soldiers facing one another with two standards between.Each holds a spear and leans on a shield. Please accept my comments with a large degree of personal speculation (and imagination); nothing is yet convincing.

Abbasid Caliphate (Medieval Iraq): bronze fals, 753-774 AD
This bronze fals was struck between 753 and 774 AD by the Abbasid Caliphate, under the authority of Al Mansur, the Caliph of Baghdad. I must confess that before going to Wikipedia (God bless Wikipedia!) all I knew about this coin was what it said on the holder. (Let's just hope I at least got it right-side-up in the pictures, haha.) Early Islamic (any Islamic) is not my forte, you see. That being said, I must say that this piece has fantastic "black-and-tan" desert patina, which IS my forte. What's it worth? I haven't the foggiest idea. For pricing, I'll conjure a number out of thin air. If it's worth less than that (or especially if it's worth gazillions more) do please let me know. $19. (Simply because an old book I found lists similar-sounding pieces at $20-ish). To me it looks a little bit like a Arabic coin of some sort.
