Found this on the grounds of a local school. Not sure what it is... Its very wore down and is about the 1/2 inch in size.... The two sides are shown below what is left of them... Any idea what this is? Thank you in advance!

roman coin

"Stick figures' on the reverse don't look Roman though I agree with 'stefen' that the obverse image does.

The coin is Roman. It's a coin of Constantius II, a Half-Centenionalis
Obverse: D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right
Reverse: FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Soldier advancing left, spearing a fallen horseman, gamma to left.
It's not worth much in the shape it's in, but still an authentic ancient and a nice find.
Do you live in the Europe or the UK ? If so there may be others in the same location.
Roman soilders often burried their money before heading to battle.

Constantius11 it is....but there are a lot of Constantius AE coins with that reverse, with out the legend visible it's very hard to know exactally which one it is. More evidence of the Roman invasion of America ...Nice find.
