Nice coin. That is a Sestertius of Antoninus Pius.

Hi Kredek, did you find the sestertius in Poland?

 

[Kredek]

Amber way was from Roman Imperium to Baltic Sea (on Polish teritory from mountains) .
There are about 100-200 Roman coins found each year.
I've found 5 denarius and 2 sesterces so far.
Very big treasure Roman coins were found on Nietulisko, over 4000 denadius in one place.

Awesome finds!! Any idea on what the 18 button is?

 

[Kredek]

It's a Russian military button from 19 CC (1830-1850 year)
