Hello friends! I was brought a strange coin found near the city of Bar in Montenegro. On it is an image of the Virgin and Child and letter ΜR ΘΥ, diameter approx 18mm. What do you think this is? Sorry for the poor quality image

Welcome to Numista!

 

There were byzantine coins with Mary (and the inscription is in the correct alphabet), but I don;t recognize it.

 

Added:  I can't see details on the reverse of your coin, but here is something where the obverse lettering might match: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=12027263
