@jbl, yes I think so, likely from the provinces. I'll recommend to the mods that your post be moved over there where the Roman experts hang out.

Ooops, sorry. I have posted the request on the wrong page. If a kind Mod could move it over to Ancients then Thanks. Cheers Spence.

Probably a (Roman) tetradrachm from Alexandria, Egypt. Here's a Probus for comparison:
