Yay! Here's the next one. Clue at ~noon EST if no one has guessed it. I probably won't have time to chime in on right/wrong answers before then.  Not my coin; image credit will be posted when the answer is guessed. Edited to add: Oh, I just went back and read the rules. I'll wait until early tomorrow morning to post a clue if no one has guessed correctly by then. Edited by ThisIsFun

Hmmm. Alexandrian potin tetradrachm. These become very similar in style during this period. I will drive through my logic.
Style places in the late 200s A.D. but likely earlier than Diocletian.
Not quite right for Aurelian and Probus so narrowed down to Carus or Carinus.
Af these I would side with Carinus.
Now I get shot down in flames.

I don't know who that is, but that is the biggest nose ever... It starts it the middle of his forehead! I wonder if the die carver got put to death over that lol.

Echizento-- is it too early for a clue? I have one that is oblique, not something that could be directly googled (not just a piece of historical info).
