Sorry for the bad scans. It's the same coin 2 sized photos.

This was given to me Sunday, anyone know anything about it?

It's about 14-15 MM

I think I see a Nabisco logo, and the legend appears to read: O-R-E-O (?)

Was it Sunday ... or did you find it in your stocking last Thursday??

Looks like it might be an Indian princely state jital. Is it about 10-12mm?

Can you rotate the images 90 degrees ccw? There seem to be images of people, but on their sides. It almost looks Byzantine to me.

Looks like a 4th century roman bronze coin to me, assuming it's about the size of a penny?

The more I look at it, the first image is correctly oriented and appears to be a lightly bearded man facing right and wearing a cuirass. The second has several possibilities. One is a very ugly face in a style I've never seen (that makes Hogmouth look attractive). Rotated, there appears to be one or two figures with a shield on the far right.

Ok, Improved images, I hope
