500l 1982, first year this design. I went back to the exact same spot as two other coins and this was sitting between the two previous holes, less than 1 foot apart.

Toasted coin 1cm in diameter. I'm thinking a Justinian I nummus, Ravenna mint. Second photo you can make out a small circle. This was the only nummus with that circle that I can find. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces301595.html
