MOESIA INFERIOR, Marcianopolis. Large AE coin of Severus Alexander: correctly ID'd?

This coin has been in my collection for quite a while (sorry for the poor photo, also: size and weight are still missing):

I've ID'd it as MOESIA INFERIOR, Marcianopolis, mint under Tiberius Julius Festus, legatus consularis, as per:

http://www.akropoliscoins.com/page3d.html

I'm not really sure though: the portrait is different, and though the mint-mark is missing partly, it looks different than the one in the picture below.

Any input (and preferably a catalog ID) would be greatly appreciated!

I think you attributed your coin correctly: Varbanov 1801.
In the exergue, there is no mintmark, but the continuation of the city name WN in your case and on the example TWN.

 

By the way, Akropolis Coins is CT member @PeteB .

 

Thanks for the confirmation!

 

For future reference: I rephotographed the coin, weighted, measured and completed the ID:

Are you still looking for a catalog number? You could also include Moushmov 714 as a reference.

Very nice coin, by the way. Great condition.
