Looks like a barberous radiate as I can just make the pointy crown so it is a later Bronze. Will chase that for you Phil.

Not much to go on apart from the eagle and the radiate head. Probably something like this or a barbarous copy of it:

Divus Claudius II Gothicus AE Antoninianus. DIVO CLAVDIO, radiate head right / CONSECRATIO, eagle standing facing with head right or left. RIC 266, Cohen 43.
