    I got this today. It looked interesting, but...
    Its silver 2.56gr. Its 17mm in diameter.
    I would appreciate your knowledge on this.
    Thanks.

    It looks like Trajan, Danuvius (Danube)
    Denarius. A very popular coin.

    It is maybe a rookie question, but thats what I am, so...
    The bubble on the reverse, is it a mistake in minting or does it represent an object on the coin only is too prominent?
    Thanks

    Maybe poke around it with a needle, if you do it carefully it might give you an idea what it is.

    Coin, jeton or something else. I think the following item deserves that title. I can't identify nor interpret what sort of legend is there.
