Welcome to Treasure Net :icon_thumleft:

This looks like a Copy of a Roman Double header, the legend looks wrong, if you can post a better picture of the legends, we might be able to ID what it's copying.
You do get genuine Roman Double Headers, but this looks like a Fake or Copy :-\

Look at the side of the coin and if you see a fine raised line going all the way around the coin it's a fake because that means it was made with a modern mold

Technically a 'Fantasy piece' as it is not copying a known type.

A few details from Cru'dad:

'Looks like Nero and Agrippina Junior but there is no actual coin with that Obv and the Rev shown in the post. '
