The subject coin imaged below, has eluded my efforts to attribute it. I thought more experienced eyes might help. It appears to be an example of a Roman Provincial Coin (Possibly Egypt). The obverse exhibits a bust of the emperor (bearded?) which appears to be laureate & cuirassed. There appears to be a *(star device of 8 [points) in the field, below and right of the chin. The inscription has defeated my efforts to decipher it. The best I am able to make out is ---ANOC CEB, the CEB from comparison with other similar ANOC legends. The reverse exhibits a bird (eagle?, hawk?) standing right. The field exhibits L__B. This usually indicates the coin was struck during the second year of the reign of the emperor. All thoughts welcome.
Inadvertently neglected to supply the weight, diameter and metal. Find these below... weight: 12.80 grams diameter: 22mm metal: copper or bronze.
The bust looks possibly like Hadrian. Just a guess. You can search at https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/egypt/alexandria/t.html which lists several Alexandrian coins
this is close, but the obverse legend is different...yours ends with NOC; which is a known year 2 legend. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/5079
Thanks to cmezner & Victor_Clark for responding. It appears that RPC 5079 is correct. The legend is so weak and corrupted with striking issues that my limited skills could not prevail. Another case where experience and familiarity with the material shows its strength. Many thanks once again to both responders for giving their time and effort to help. Very much appreciated!!
