This coin is the coin Bastien 119, from Bastien's private collection. Coin illustrated in his book "Le monnayage de bronze de Postume" (1967).
This coin is from highest rarity, I only could detect a 2nd coin for this type on a cgb auction. Surprise that it's offered in Savoca silver auction.. maybe an coin-market experiment? (by the way.. Bastiens collection is announced to be sold at next NAC auction 111!)

Rome Mint. Struck 65 AD. RIC 284. it could be recognized from the decoration of the temple as well as the style of the portrait.

At 20.82 g and with those smooth edges this undoubtedly is one of the many cast forgeries of this popular issue.

RIC 908, #907 having the obverse titulature IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG. RIC V.2 p. 117.
Someone altered the date here. The coin design of this 4 Reales is 1716 onwards. Note the pillars floral decor. The large cross, lions and castles. What a Shame. It is clearly an assayer M issue, as the left leg of the M is still very visible in the upper right, and the center of the M lower left was retooled to look like a V. The date is horrible as looks nothing like the correct 93, and is clearly not struck / embossed but tooled from likely and empty field, or from a 1718, or 1723 issue 4 Reales that had a faint date.
Bummer....
Leave them as is! Adding a fake date, makes the coin loose its value! I see this often, and it really is a shame.

One may argue where this belongs in RIC (unlisted variant of RIC 645, in my opinion) but it is a coin of Siscia, Alföldi 18,8 (Table VII).
