I agree with the Geta attribution, but I don't think that it is AMNG 1648...

I don't believe that it is a die match on both sides to the coin shown on Wildwinds.



I actually have a coin from Nikopolis:

Geta
ID-Small-Provincial-Coin-Please

AE15
AD 195-198
Nikopolis ad Istrum
L AVR K - GETAC
Bare head right
NIKOPOLITWN PROC I.
Crescent with 1 6-pointed star in the cavity with dots at the points
15mm
2.0g

ref. a) not in AMNG:
rev. AMNG I/1, 1648
obv. AMNG I/1, 1649
b) cf. Varbanov (engl.) 3236 (= AMNG 1648)
c) not in Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2012):
rev. No. 8.22.48.5 (same die)
obv. e.g. No. 8.22.6.3 (central coin, same die)
Nikopolis Addenda II #216 (second known)

Does that mean it is an unknown die, or is it dodgy?

I am finding that I can get my fillers a lot cheaper if I go Provincial!
