The coin is 27mm and 11.2 g

 

Appreciate the advice. Thank you.

 

An interesting coin, to be sure. I think the reverse inscription reads "Thessalonica" (in Greek). Did you try Wildwinds "Macedonia, Thessalonica" section? The figure on the obverse might be Hermes right, caduceus at shoulder? Or Pan with a pedum? Sorry I can't be of more help.

IMHO its this coin, its on wildwinds:

 

Obv. N KAB - EIPOΣ, Kabir with hammer over shoulder r.
Rev. ΘEΣΣA - ΛONIKE - ΩN, in 3 lines within oak wreath

Struck under Nero, Varbanov III, p. 479, No. 4260 (cites Touratsoglou, Die Münzstätte von Thessaloniki in der Römischen Kaiserzeit, Berlin 1988)

Notes:
obv. N = Nero
rev. (issued) by the people of Thessalonika

Best regards
