Hard one, all I can see are two seated figures on the obverse. Size around 25mm, weight 3g. Thanks! :)

My guess is it should be a Byzantine Aspron Trachy 11th-14th century, but it is too worn out for me to identify, I am not so experienced with these.

The right image is the obverse and should depict a nimbate Christ or Virgin Mary facing. The left image is the reverse and usually depicts the crowned emperor standing on the left and a nimbate saint (Constantine or George usually, but also Christ sometimes) on the right.

I would just bury it and never look back at it again, but since you asked, I would think it is either of the two coins below. Its a complicated coin and I don't really want to get into the specifics of it.

Byzantine Empire: Alexius III Angelus-Comnenus (1195-1203) BI Aspron Trachy Nomisma, Constantinople (Sear-2011; DOC 3a)

Obv: Beardless, nimbate bust of Christ, wearing tunic and kolobion; holds scroll in left hand. Pellet, or pellets,
normally in each limb of nimbus cross. IC XC in field
Rev: Full-length figure of Alexius on left and of St. Constantine nimbate, holding between them globus cruciger. Emperor and saint wear stemma, divitision, collar-piece, and jeweled loros of simplified type; both hold labarum-headed scepter.





Bulgarian Imitation of the above coin:
