The inscription looks like DOMITIA - AVTOKRA or similar, with victory to the left of a palm tree, presumably inscribing a shield. TJC has some similar types for Titus, but I can't find this one.

Dear Nassif
the coin look off, and they do double struck fake coins.
stay away from this coin, look carefully at the edges??
tell me what you see? or try to scan the edges.
regards
Salem

Nothing in RPC with AVTOKPA DOMITIAN/ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝ  nor anything close with Victory/Nike as the reverse type, as far as I can see.

This coin was among others in the last acquired collection by me few weeks ago.The Collection is at least 60 years old and the collector died 30 years ago,that's why i am posting some interesting coins for ID because this collector has huge experience.Personally i have never seen double struck fake and i would be really grateful if some members can show me such items.I am not saying that this coin is 100% safe,of course there is doubt and probably "Fake" in some way,but it's so interesting.I remember now what i heard longtime ago about somebody using real old material and event ancient dies to struck new fake coins .It was so "grotesque" and unbelievable,but with this coin i start to scratch my brain....
Regards.

There was something niggling away last night when I looked at this, but it was awfully late and I couldn't place it. The inscription is clearly Greek, yet the first letter looks like D not D.
