But it looks Biblical. Any help would be appreciated. I couldn’t even tell which side is obverse or reverse let alone top from bottom. It’s my inexperience with ancient coins.
Your instincts are spot on. If you tilt the first picture 90 degrees to the right, you get the obverse of a prutah of the first Jewish revolt (against the Romans) of the 60's CE. Some of these have been posted here just over the last day or two, and there are several other threads about them.
Yesss!!!! The thread on these that was started only today by --Oops, You!-- is here, I guess vaguely for public benefit: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/not-sure.380124/#post-7521363
Thanks, I have 4 coins that I know very little to nothing about. This was the 2nd one so 2 down and 2 tomorrow, I hope.
