    I've had this coin for a while but I didn't know what it was until now, or I don't and have it completely wrong. Putting in the legend I found a few coins online that have similar designs and stuff like that. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Philip V Æ coin:

    My coin:

    Can't tell much of anything from the photograph. Can you send a larger photo that is not as dark? Include the size and weight.

    If, in hand, you can see enough to confirm that your coin is the same as the first coin you posted, then you're probably all set. Note, however, that the monograms at the bottom left and right of the reverse might be different. Here's a couple of additional examples:

    The coin is worn down to all heck. But the obverse and reverse look like the same coin. I only picked Philip V because the reverse looked similar. Could it be from that timeframe? I'm traveling so I don't have a scale but it is around the size of a nickel, maybe a bit bigger. And very thin.
