Top right is Severus Alexander, an Alexandrian tetradrachm. It's a nice coin. I have a modest collection of Alexandrian tets and this one would certainly be welcome in my collection 
I have Emmett's book so I'm reasonably sure of this attribution, although you should check the obverse inscription against what is written below. I can't quite see everything in the small picture.
EGYPT, Alexandria
Severus Alexander, 222-235 AD.
billion tetradrachm
struck regnal year 12 (233/4 AD)
Obv: AKAIMAPAVPCEVAΛΕΧ'ΝdeltaPOC(EVC); laureate bust right
Rev: Isis, bust right; LIB in left field, palm frond in right field [LIB is the date]
Ref: Emmett 3111
