    Dear all,

    So the details on this coin are barely visible. On the observe side, there is a helmed man (Mars?) to the right, on the reverse a (bearded) man to the left, with unreadable text on the left side.

    Its very hard to tell even if you had better detail. I doubt anyone will be able to tell unless they can read the symbols. coins like this are fairly common. But IDK, maybe someone can tell you.

    This coin could indeed be anything. I've scanned it, an a few more details are emerging, but it's a sad sight:

    The observe shows some resemblance to the Indo-Greek coins I've seen (only digital):
