I don’t know much about it. May I ask you for some information?

 

[Mackaydon]

Sure.
I'm still working on the name of the emperor. Part of the coin's attribution will contain the word 'radiate head' which refers to this emperor's 'spiked' headgear--as opposed to other forms of headgear that include 'helmeted', 'didademed', 'cuirasse', 'veiled' and etc.

my WAG is Gordian III with a legend reading:
IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG

Very Cool!!! Congrats!!!

I'm going to correct myself.
The coin is still a Gordian III, but the reverse legend reads:
AETERNITATI AVG
Here's the real coin, similar to the OPs:

Antoninianus - Gordian III, Roman Empire
