The quality is this coin is not bad. I see some letters but not enough to read the legend.

I checked several sites mostly by image, hoping I will check the legends next but I can't find this one.

Do you have an ideo what it could be ?

Not 100% sure but close, the obverse even seems to be the same die:

How did you find that so quicly? I probably entered Egypt in my selection criteria.

You are right, there is a strange thing behind the head that is quite similar to the one in the link…

You are amazing !!!

Thanks a lot !!!

The portrait looks fairly early, and you have NE behind the bust, not Nero, so it left Trajan as the most likely (Nerva often in his name), searching RPC for Trajan/Eagle with that diameter only gives 25 results to scan through by eye to match the pose of the eagle.

It is great… Thanks… I have many provincial coins to identify… I am sure I will stumble on some of them…

Thanks again
