@erafjel - This is not one of the ones I've seen in the flesh, but most were very similar to it (this looks more like X-T, but the others were definitely a P).
They all had the star, or a blob where it should be.

Interesting coin, @Gainn, but not one that I recognize. The cross below the star is probably a Christian cross, but the letters (X and P or T) do not seem to be connected to form a word.

Maybe post it in the Ancients section for identification?

It appears to be a pretty (very) beat up one of these.

@livingwater, a couple of us CCF members are writing a paper for publication, and would like to cite your paper in Celator. In addition to the Volume, we need the page number, but I have not been able to get any of the links to load any more (I am pretty sure this was not the case last year when we began working on it).
Any chance you could provide the page number(s)?

Thanks!

I can help with that: Volume 17, No 12, pp 6-27 (Dec 2003).

The link seems to have changed to: https://social.vcoins.com/files/fil...cember-2003/
