Weight and diameter would be most helpful.

Reverse looks like figure standing left with (patera?) and scepter, perhaps Juno, Felicitas or something along those lines

Thank you for your reply paralyse!

I can't weigh the coin at the moment since we are still travelling. But it is 2cm in diameter.

I managed to clean it a little bit and the bust and reverse image is a butmmore visible now:

It's Dionysus, with panther to left. Kibyra/Cibyra, Phrygia. An issue of Domitian. You can just barely see the KI-B across the reverse fields, as well as the ΠΙ ΑΡΧ of the legend lower right.
