I know nothing about these things but can tell you we have a member here with the nick of Sap who is very knowledgeable on these things (and alot more coins actually) and what ever he find out is pretty much the correct answer. he lives in Australia (I think) so he is on a different time zone that some of us (not sure what TZ you are in) so give him some time and I am sure he will have a answer for you

I can't say I've seen one like that... and there's not enough of the inscriptions left to read to give a clue as to where it might be from. All I can offer is that the portrait looks Roman Provincial, rather than Greek. Sorry.
