Hello Nikko, you coin is

Numerian
A.D. 283- 284
IMP NVMERIANVS P F AVG; Radiate and cuirassed bust right.
PROVIDENT AVGG; Providentia standing left holding ears of corn and cornucopiae, at foot modius.
In ex. VIXXI
RIC Vii Ticinum 447
Rated common

This one actually looks like the bust is seen from behind, but RIC V does not make the distinction; but it is one of the worst RIC volumes in terms of needing updated. It is rated as common and there are about 10 examples for sale now on VCoins in various condition ranging from $34- $175

Thank you very much Vctor. I supposed that Numerian was a little rarer.. but it doesn't matter... ;)
So, i would estimate my example 50-75$.
