    Can anyone establish what this coin is and it's value? I cant seem to find any info online about it. Much appreciated.

    You might consider posting this in a different forum, since many members (especially if this is ancient) do not visit the "What's it Worth" forum.

    It's a modern copy of a coin issued during the Second Jewish Revolt or Bar Kochba War (132-135 AD). The original coin was silver; yours seems to be copper or bronze. Here's a link to a genuine specimen that sold at auction in 2017 for comparison:

    As a modern copy, there's no special collector value, maybe worth a dollar or two as a curiosity.
