Found this recently. Is well battered and worn and in 2 bits.
I think this one will beat the doc and any other experts here but thought that maybe someone might see something on it that will at least confirm it is a hammered coin.
Measures 16mm at widest point.

Its not really pink. Honest!  Dont know why it shows up like that.  Huh

Taff. I can see the figures now you have pointed them out. I dont know much about roman silver but I thought that roman would be a bit thicker? This is thin. Same as a hammered.

I've certainly never encountered a Roman silver as thin as a hammy so I would discount that, given its size of 16mm it puts it in the Eddy halfpenny range. You say it's not pink but I presume there is some reddening to it which often denotes a higher than normal copper content and possibly point to it being a continental issue Undecided
