Hello friends! I found one coin but i have big problem with identification. I will try to clean, but now I can see only few things on reverse: 1) Three soldiers (legionnaires) or tree, letters between soldiers (tree) "?_IK_AN_?". In ex: AN.
If is a possible with this poor information and low quality picture, please help me.

All the best!

Hello... it looks like it could be a coin of Julia Mamaea... Julia Mamaea. 4.14g; 20mm. Nicaea, Bithynia. 222-235 AD. IOVLIA MAMAIA AVG, draped bust right / N-IK-AI-E-WN, between and beneath three standards

Dear Silver Searcher, I think that my coin is not Julia Mamaea. It looks like Gordianus for example. Definitely is male on avers.
One information more, coin is 19 mm.
Dear Don, thanks for reply. I'm continuing for research.

Julia Mamaea was a complete guess, but I think the reverse is very similar with the three standards. I will look further. There are coins of Gordian111 that have the Legionary standards on the reverse, looking there might help your search.
