Can anyone identify this coin?

it was found while digging to install a pool, I’ve wipe it off best as possible and I know it’s very hard to see but it looks like gold

Yea just noticed that thanks

 

What does the other side look like?

 

It’s worse but I just posted the pic

 

What part of the world was this found in? Looks to be ancient roman...

 

West Virginia

 

amazing find. Post this in the ancient forum and I sure someone there can identify it. West Virginia ? Was someone hiding a hoard there ?

 

Lol no clue I’ll look for more

 

You'll need more clear pictures though.

 

Yea I’ll try to get better pics

 

The portrait looks like a Marcus Aurelius.

This is the closest I have found so far off a quick google search.

 

Definitely a temple on the reverse, as to who the ruler is I have no idea, and no Idea what temple that would be.

I'd maybe post to r/ancientcoins on reddit. They are masters at identification. You will need clear photos though. But at least this helps you start your search.

 

That looks like it, thanks so much

 

It is not that exact coin, that is for sure. But it is something along those lines.

We know there is a temple on the reverse, do not know what temple or ruler. I just scratched the surface for you
