That's not really a clue - haven't kept track whom you consider good or bad.

But that is not preventing me from guessing:

Severus Alexander?

Well between Caracalla and Elgabalus he was really a good emperor.

Severus Alexander it is.

Getting close, as another hint: he died not 'by the sword'.

Yes, it's him. Btw, BMC Pontus is unfortunately not available as download (not even the plates on Snigle), but as google-book. Have some copies of BMC but doubt Pontus is amongst them - if you can't find a reference for the Severus otherwise, you might have to ask Varbanov.
But here is the coin:

AE 25 from Caesarea (Samaria) of Hostilian as Caesar - BMC#191+

Obverse: HOSTILIA[NO QVIN]TO CAES around radiate bust right, wearing paludamentum and cuirass
Reverse: [COL] PFAVFC CAES METROP around bust of Tyche wearing turreted crown

Well I'm signing off for the night. I pick this up in the am. Good night.

I'm still waiting to see him on line, so far he hasn't been. If anyone wants to post a coin be my guest.

A guess, but it looks a little like a Khurso II that I have, so is it that?
