    I am embarassed. There are so many visible letters but I simply can't make any sense of them.

    Obverse: skinny neck guy, probably Augustus
    Reverse: Female(?) figure

    17mm, 4.0g

    Thank you :D

    You're welcome!
    I remember seeing a similar coin in an auction - and in the same one I bought this one, with Rhoemetalces and queen Pythodoris .

    I really should have been able to ID the original coin I posted... There's obviously letters POM--- on the bottom, just like the coin above. I am embarassed :(

    Frankly, the only letters I instantly recognized are the ΤΟΥ on the reverse (Augustus) and I knew what it is after the busts. But what's funny is that you nailed it as an Augustus coin, but Augustus is not the skinny neck figure, it's on the reverse ... I think? Rhoemetalces should be the one with a diadem.
