Can you Identify This Coin

I think this may show a Cathedral on Obverse, Towers either side, possibly a Sun between the Towers, a large central door, 12mm, round. I cannot give a weight, I think copper or brass alloy.  The Reverse has no obvious features I can see. Possibly Spanish

 It reminds me of the ‘camp gate’ design seen on Roman coins:

 With the large building, and a small arched door in the lower middle, 

the towers either side, and the sun between.

 That is what I thought as well. Your link does not work though.

Try this, it might reveal more details so that we can identify the emperor or at least the mint: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic74610.html#p604379

Thank you very much appears to match a Follis, Constanius 11 , minted around 327 AD.

I don't think such a precise identification is possible off of this coin as at least part of the obverse legend should be readable to identify the emperor. The campgate reverse with a star above it is common and was used by more emperors, not just Constanius II.
