Hammeroid - your coin is a reduced follis of Licinius I, I'm pretty sure the reverse is GENIO POP ROM - the mint mark looks a little odd, but is most likely the first workshop at Trier, and dates to ~315AD

Just got round to sorting out the finds bag from the rally, and here are the only bits I could find of interest.
The coin I thought was blank but after a bit of a wash and if you tilt it to catch the light it does look like a head !

The only one that I know of that has a conk like that is Nerva but there could be loads I guess. Going by the corrosion and the hint of a "crown" is it a Dupondius ?

Late addition folks , chucked this aside came up looking exactly like 2p, recently scraped off hard crusty soil and underneath was this, which I think is a brass rose orb jetton , c 1550 to 1650, therefor I think, a worthy addition to all the other nice finds, correct me if I,m wrong anybody. I found it in field 2.
