I believe this to be my first Nabatataean coin and was used in the kingdom that included the city of Petra (Jordan) but I am not sure what the denomination is
Metal: Bronze
W: 2.24
S: 14.48
T: 2.09

In my catalog Nabataean coins just are AE and then the size in millimeters.
This is irregular in shape so I'll classify it as AE14.

Thanks for your response

Isn't the thingy on the right that jewish symbol. A pair of cornucopias like in this modern version: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5579.html
I know most of their modern coins use symbols from their ancient coins.

​I was both right and wrong. It IS that symbol.
But that symbol was used in ancient Judea:
