    Is that bronze or silver?

    Portrait looks like Helena.

    Almost looks Gallic.

    I think you all are right. You can almost read JULIA M on the obverse.

    Thanks everyone!
    You have been great help.
    The material is silver. It is still a little dirty and it weighs 1.21grams

    Diameter is 15mm, so its not denarius, I guess

    It started out as a denarius but chipping and corrosion have removed over a gram of metal leaving what you now have.
