This coin weighs 8.0g. I searched through the Wildwinds pages of Aurelian-Maximian for a matching type but could not fund one. All I could find out was that the reverse depicts Alexandria (the city godess) holding Serapis and a sceptre, and the year # is 2. What are your thoughts on what ruler is depicted? I think the portrait looks like Aurelian, and the legend somewhat matches but is missing. But the issue is that I cant find a matching type listed under Aurelian...
