Ancient Nero coin...wondering.

Hi All,

I just received my purchase of a bag of ten kilo's of world coins.
So far so good. One of the coins looks to be a Roman coin minted for
Nero. It has a face looking left with script along the edge. The
revese has two horse mounted riders with the letter "s" on the left
side and "c" on the right. It is brown in color and about the size of
a Half-Dollar. It looks to good to be real. Just wondering if those of
RCC who collect ancients( Reid ) can give me a hint if this is real or
a good fake. Either way it was a nice surprise to find.
So far I have found coins from Argentina to Zimbabwe. Big coins,
tiny coins, silver coins and a whole lot more. Dates run from the
early 1800's to 2003. Some are worn almost flat and others look mint
fresh. One heck of a start on my world collection. Wheeee.

So to those who can answer my question, Many Thanks. Those who don't
but give comment, Thanks.

I would hazard a guess that it is not a fake but not real either.
I have several similar to what you describe (different images)
that are enlarged copies (souvinirs). So I would guess it to be a medal/token.
The SC on the originals mean SENATUS CONSULTUS or something like "by permission of
the Senate"
