This coin is not made of silver or copper from that period, but rather of something hard like stone.

Please show only the coin and not the background, which is of no interest. Learn how to crop an image.

Agreed — it's easier for us to work with larger pictures with as little bacground as possible. In this case, on a desktop, the first picture turns out to be quite good once the link (not the image) is opened in a new tab, then cropped:

 

 

This is an VRBS ROMA bronze coin issued under Constantine. Urbs (or in Latin: Vrbs) Roma = “City of Rome”. You can compare with the list in the link and find out where it was minted (the mintmark, in case you don't know, is below the wolf-and-twin allegory on the reverse).
