Hello and welcome.

We will need better pics, of both sides, to be certain, but we can narrow it down a little for you.

The word is "NERWNOS" in Greek - the name of the emperor Nero. It is therefore a Roman Provincial coin, possibly from Judaea (ancient Israel). Wildwinds example. Or a copy of one, anyway; "biblical coins" like this are often copied.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

You can use the Image Optimizer to downsize pics without cropping, so we can see the entire coin. Just lower the width of the image to get the file size under 300kb.

Common, but popular because he is mentioned by name in the Bible.

Very interesting find and welcome to CCF @ML. I don't know the coins of Judea well enough to give an opinion on real vs. fake. Better pics would definitely help, but here is a slightly enhanced view of one of your coins:
