I've come across this one before, but can't remember what it is, and my Greek is terrible. Any help is appreciated in ID'ing.

Noob, that's where I started looking, but I don't think it's them. The legend under the busts reads (more or less) "KOPPEA ANTONI" (one line per word)

I can read "OPPEL" beneath the portraits. As far as I know, this letter combination only appears on the coins of Macrinus and Diadumenian.

I think SAP is spot on here:
