    From the reverse, I have attributed the coin illustrated below to the Roman province of Tyana. The emperor has eluded my efforts. Lucius Verus appears closest with the correct εΤ Β on the reverse, but, the inscription AYTO K Λ OYHΡOC C does not match. All comments welcome.

    24mm
    8.87grams
    Copper

    O: ΑΥΤΟΚ μΑΝ -ω-

    R: TYANA--N ΤΠΤ ΙΕΠ Α-Υ ΑΥΤΟ
    εΤ Β appear at left and right in field. A line or other device appears above the Β; or might be a die gouge. Below find digital images. Trust they may be of help.

    Looks right. 1000 thanks Ocatarinetabellatchitchix. I was surprised to see that the example in hand was pretty nice when comparing it with the examples on the RPC site. Once again thanks for taking the time to help attribute the item. It has been in my collection for 40 years and I can finally put it to rest.
