    Modern copy of an ancient Judaean coin, of the type issued under Augustus by the procurators Coponius (6- 9 AD) and Marcus Ambibulus (9- 12 AD). But the reverse seems to be for "year 30" which does not exist for genuine coins of this type (the earliest date I can find is year 36).

    Judean. I'm not sure which yet. But it is definitely not real.
