I am sorry to say you will not get very rich if you try to sell it, one has been sold here for 45 Euros that could be like yours

I would say i am 95% sure it is a roman coin, we studied these in school ( history).

We had to identify all sorts of coins, and this one looks similar just cannot remember the exact name...

They are worthless, but good to keep as a bit of history maybe for your grandkids to show their kids ect...

It looks like Theodosius 1st. 379-395AD. Hard to tell from the picture.

A nice find but sadly probably not valuable.

They turn up in urns full of the things.

Remember it may not be valuable in itself, but the location of the find may well be to the historical and archaeological community.
