Can anyone help, please?
I know that I have seen this bust before, but I cannot recall where. Also the 'reverse' is totally unknown to me.
'Provincial'?
AE24 mm., 5.4 gm.,

@Arnoldoe: - I think that you're absolutely on the right track. Because I can (now) see an 'A' at the end of a line of writing on the reverse (within the wreath), and a 'D' at the end of a second line, I am inclined to go with RPC 108 rather than RPC 129 that has a different legend.
You guys are awesome. I study the coin and the 'references' for hours and I get no-where, and when I put it up, literally within minutes someone narrows it down.
Thanks A.D. I can now move on.

i edited my post, I think this one fits better, + I guessed that the obverse was Augustus and the reverse a wreath, and searched
"Augustus Wreath"

Well, it must be a "IVLIA TRADVCTA", but it can be also a "COLONIA PATRICIA"...

They are very similar coins, probably made by the same sculptor at the same epoch in two different cities of southern Spain.
I think that is a "IVLIA TRADVCTA"
