Obverse legend is probably D N FL IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES. But this coin looks like imitation.

and it looks like this

Your attribution is probably correct. And maybe it's an official product in such bad condition that it looks on picture like an imitation.

By imitation we mean an ancient one.  Based on the real type but with a cruder bust and lettering.
