    Similar to this one (slightly different reverse inscription)

    Quasi-autonomous, circa 198-268 AD; AE, probaby about 21 mm
    Obv: AV CO TRO, turreted and draped bust of Tyche right
    Rev: COL ALE AVG TRO, Apollo Smintheus standing right, holding bow and phiale, quiver over shoulder
    Refs: Bellinger, Troy, p. 148, 469

    Not particularly rare, but interesting. I like these quasi-autonomous issues by this city. Here's one from my collection:
