OK, well then here's one which is probably a bit harder  Might require some clues. Not my coin, as usual, since my coins are mainly Greek and show gods and animals.  Edited to add a non-blurred picture since I inadvertently blurred out a feature of the headdress thinking it was just damage.

This one definitely deserves some guidance. Clues will be doled out as required, progressing from vague to more specific.
First clue: it's the reverse of a Roman Provincial.

Nope.
Next clue in a couple of hours if no one is on the right track by then.

IS the headdress a burial shroud? I need clues!

Is the headdress a burial shroud? No, not exactly...
I uploaded a new photo without the blurring because apparently I blurred over a feature of the headdress which will help a little with the ID. Not as much as the next clue though:
This king died one thousand nine hundred and fifty two years before the emperor who appears on the obverse.

You can buy it, it's up for auction soon! Maybe we'll be bidding against each other  Estimated price $200, which means it will go for ~$500
