    I picked up this one and believe it is an Iberian possibly Spain or Portugal. I can not find my book on Iberian coins and looks like I will have to buy another one. I will have to do some homework on what book I should buy.

    What do you all think it might be?

    It's a prutah from Judaea. I'll be back with the procurator's name in a few minutes :).

    Probably procurator Porcius Festus, during Nero's reign.

    JUDAEA, Jerusalem, during the reign of Nero

    Procurator Porcius Festus, 59-62 AD
    AE prutah
    Obv: NEP/ωNO/C in three lines [in theory-- I can't make it out on your coin] within wreath
    Rev: [date]KAIC-APOC; vertical palm frond

    Some cataloged entries consider the obverse and reverse switched from what I've written.
