The bottom image is upside down.  It is a trident on it.

Can you get a clearer image of the side that is not the Trident?
Depending on what is there, I might have a lead on what it is.

Again, try to get a smaller file size, and less background (that
is just wasted space). At 1.5Mb+ it is just too big, load far too
slowly, and you could achieve much the same image with a file
that is more like 100Kb or 200Kb instead.

Hello Walter!
Sorry for the late response, just now I have seen your message. I have uploaded another pic, this one is smaller and I have also cleaned the coin as much as i could.

The Reverse looks like an omphalos with a snake wrapped around it.
