This worn coin maybe beyond hope...

It weighs 15.1 grams and has a diameter of about 25 mm. Hence it is somewhat thick.

It is also in sorry shape with only the portrait outline on the obverse with hints of legends, and on the reverse what looks like a heavily worn S C and nothing else.

Presumably Antioch with that large S-C in wreath. Nero? Augustus?

Antioch, also would be my guess. There are lots of small, thick "SC in wreath" types from there.

I see one example of such with a Nero bust that is a fair match, but I'll keep looking. With this amount of wear it may fall short of certainty.
