I have never post one of my coins because I buy them to identify and learn the history of them while doing so... but I've been working on this coin for two months and the only thing I have is it MIGHT have been between Galba to Septimius Severus... the coin is 21mm, 5.9gms, and 2.5mm thick. Thanks

This is a Roman provincial coin, my best guess from only a profile of the bust is that it could be Faustina II.

I think you are right... I hope it is I'am collecting the 5 good emperors and marcus aurelius is my favorite and I have two of his coins and want his wife... but the bust is so wore down that I can barely see (what I think) the N and A above the bust... I've had no luck on the reverse.
