Lighthouse of Latakia

So far, I've heard of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria. It's considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Nowadays, we can only enjoy watching this wonder through coins. Fortunately, I realized that one of my recent purchases depicts the lighthouse or pharos of Latakia in Syria ( Laodekeia ad Mare).
The obverse shows Septimius Severus facing his son Caracalla. There's a counter mark between them. Reverse has a galley with the lighthouse in background. The nearest attribution I could find is Meyer 95. Hope I'm right.. Please try to comment. Cheers..
