Congrats on a great find !
Be very careful how you clean it or a lot of detail on the coin could be lost !
Where is it from / found and how old is it ?

One possible reverse due to the position of the legs and position of the "S" in AVGVSTI (if, in fact, it is AVGVSTI).

Looking forward to seeing the result after soaking in DW.

It's all speculation.
Next check point will be to see the results of distilled water soaking.
Hoping for more clues to then become visible.
