It looks Roman, but I don't know if its genuine.

We'll have to see what the Roman experts think.

The only reference I can find is for a silver coin.

Obverse CORNELIA SUPERA Wife of Aemilian circa 253AD

Reverse VESTA

Noted byRichard Plant in his 'Roman Silver Coins' as very rare and expensive.

BUT Your coin looks bronze, which makes it a copy of some sort. Probably a petrol station give-a-way! :rolleyes:

The surface and execuction of design are all a bit wrong on that aren't they. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a modern copy, lost a lot more recently.
