the coin is a dupondius

and looks like m aurelius for me as well

something like this

can you check what s the obverse legend ?
i can see

???  ANTONINVS AVG ?????

in that case the legend could be IMP M ANTONINVS AVG and then parthico or trp

i can read ANTONINVS P AVG from the pic you should be able to read more with the coin in hand :)

it could also be a contemporary imitative coin if you cant find it on ric
