This coin is part of the lot of ancient coins that were presumably bought by my late grandfather in Iraq during the 60's. Is anyone able to ID this marvelous coin?

Edit...Yep looks something like this one on vcoins although Tyche seems to have something in front of the portrait on the OP coin.. Severus Alexander. Arabia.
