Hi!

 

I have thought she is a roman emperor wife but I have not been able to identify her.

 

weight: 2,7 g

diameter: 17 mm

More often the Emperor themselves or an allegory or divinity signifying something. such as abundance, prosperity, victory, luck, virtue, etc.

Thnaks for your help.

 

The lettering looks Greek. Maybe a Roman provincial coin.

Based on your observation, the closest I've found so far is Emperor Geta.

I can't make out the lettering with the photos provided. Identify the obverse first, that will be key to identification, emperor and era. Is it possibly Hadrian I see to the left of the bust?

Trying to follow your tip. So far, I haven't been able to identify the observer.

😔😞

The photos are too small to read the legends. 

 

Still, on the reverse you expect the name of the community who struck the coin, the usual formula being: “(coin) of the people of City X", here, a city/people starting with M, I think (M…..EΩN).

 

On the obverse, it looks like Faustina the Younger, but the legend doesn't seem to match (Faustina is ΦΑΥΣΤΕΙΝΑ in Greek).

Hi!

 

I have taken new pictures. I hope the quality is better.

Hello,

 

The first photo would probably be OK if not just a thumbnail.
