    That looks like it may be a Celtiberian coin which will predate Augustus by a hundred years or more. By the time I get home tonight I'm sure someone else here will have an id.

    Looks pre-Augustan Spanish to me, maybe Sekaisa, like this?

    The reverse looks like a match. The OP obverse bust is facing left though

    The wear on the OP coin makes it more difficult to identify. There are dozens of different tribes/municipalities from Spain with similar features that it may take some time to find an exact match.

    I agree with everyone else and it seems there are a few near 'perfect' matches on acsearch---Celtiberian!!

    Dear colleagues! Thank you for your responses. It really Hebert - Celts. Here is an analogue of my coins, but coins without moja inscriptions and probably with is broken into two halves, and perhaps even glued.
