Found a weird old coin in change. Any coin collectors have any idea what the origin is?

Found this in my change chest.


Is this what I think it is? Roman or Greek?
Any numismatics have any idea?






Think the letters say “MIONSTA” or something like that.

TIA

The face looks Greek or Roman. But I have no idea really. Cool find though.

You don't know how a bronze Roman coin ended up in your change? Are you a time traveler?

It looks like it's been dug, btw. Probably a Constantine coin.

Possible old slave coin.

You're fired.

Chances are that’s some replica of a Greek coin. The odds of getting an actual authentic Greek coin like that by chance are astronomical.

Friend,

It appears to me to be an image of Constantius II.

One in good condition goes for $65. Yours is not good condition. I would value it $20-25.



Yours,
TulaneLSU

P.S. The words on the back are FEL TEMP REPARATIO, or restoration of happy times. I yearn for a leader who will bring those days. For more on this coin, use this link.
