I've spent more than enough time puzzling over this provincial
Not much legend to follow but enough to narrow things down !
Stylistically I look toward AD 250-260's
I strongly suspect Valerian II as Cæsar and there are many similarities
But I can't seem to nail it down !
Reverse looks like an emperor holding scepter and patera
But could also be Apollo with staff
9.10 grams 28-29mm

Certainly Selinus-Traianopolis Cilicia with Apollo Sidetes reverse. Obverse die is unpublished but the inscription implies Philip I or II (AY K M IOY...).

Likely a variant of this type: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/2621
