Looks like a renaissance copy of a Roman coin.

 

So it is an ancient copy of an ancient coin

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Not exactly. It could be a copy or just a fantasy coin. If so, not ancient but around 500 years old. It could also be a modern copy of a 500 year old coin, these are not in my wheelhouse though. Someone else could give you a more accurate description.

 

I can't read the legend, therefore it is hard to narrow it down. Could be Probus or Maximianus as the intended obverse subject, but it is clearly a fake.

 

Reverse shows the "Four Seasons"

 

Trebonianus Gallus, per the obverse legend. Reverse is Four Seasons (TEMPORVM FELICITAS), as Shanxi mentioned.

It doesn't look ancient to me but I am not very familiar with the imperial issues of this emperor. I am not aware of him issuing the type though.

 

I think I see TREBONIANVS GALLVS AVG on the right of the obv legend. And VIB on the left side.

EDIT: I see @TIF beat me to it.

 

Good catch @TIF - now I can see Trebonianus Gallus on the legend.

The only "real" medallion of Gallus I could find was this one.

 

I agree that the legend points to Trebonius Gallus.
Here is my only Treb. Gal. (but it doesn't help the cause I am afraid).

AR Antoninianus Trebonianus Gallus RIC Milan 72

 

Thank you everyone. I have a box of 150 ancient coins from a collection purchase. I've sent several to NGC and 60% have come back not genuine or unable to determine. Any good resources to help. I can post a few of the rejects if interested in seeing them

 

Actually, it is a modern cast of a Renaissance fantasy of a Roman medallion--three removes from real.
