Looks like a thick layer of applied mud.

From Cyprus again, patina is not original, of course, as almost all coins solt by this guy from Cyprus, but coin is no fake, or at least it doens't sems to be once in hand.

This might help explain the differences between natural patina and applied artificial patina or repatination.

Hi Arados, thanks for link.

When bought these coins I knew patina was artificial, of course, or may he has hundreds of coins with just the same patina?, He doesn't state that, he just says CLEANED.

But cleaned is no fake, isn't it?

I am just triyng to ID them, if it is impossible to tell under that mud as Djmacdo said, I will just cleaned again and will apply another patina by myself, coins aren't to sell so I don't really mind.

King regards

I'm not going into the authenticity discussion.

The legend EC(I)B might be part of NECIB MHT of  Nisibis

Now it looks like a legitimate ancient coin!  Nisibis seems likely to me too.  I cannot quite figure out the empress.
