Got this a while back from a market, I purchased it because of the two heads on the obverse. Struggling to find a match.

Measures 12mm and the weight is 2.05gr.

Apologies for the pics, can't find the macro on my phone (daughter usually puts it on for me)

@met, if that is a cornucopia in your second pic, then this might be from Judea. Ron is the expert on these though and so would defer to him.

Jugate busts of the Dioskouri with cornucopia reverse. Maybe Ake-Ptolemais, although there are other possibilities.

Thank you for the pointers!
I was searching in the Nabataean Kingdom on Vcoins, found a few with the obverse but just looked at the Ake-Ptolemais and found a very similar coin.
