I suspect it's from Cilician Armenia, perhaps a pogh of Oshin.

I agree Cilician Armenia. The second image is the obverse and is upside down. Coin can use some cleaning but I believe it's Hetoum I.

Ron - the reasons I didn't go with Hetoum I were that the figure seems to be sitting on a bench rather than throne, and also because he holds - to our left - a cross, not a fleur, and to the right it looks like a lily rather than a globus cruciger. Perhaps there are Hetoum varieties that fit, however?

Here are four Oshin reverses (above) and a comparison of the OP with two Levon IV's below.

Well Ron and Bob, I'm glad you could figure out this one, because all I could see in @j1m's second photo was a depiction of mitosis...
