I am not expecting much, but can you help identify this coin, please?

I have this small AE11.5mm., 1.34gm., coin that I don't know where to start.
Was it made like this or is it 'damaged'?
Any help is appreciated, please?

I think it had been damaged like many ancient coins. I 've seen coins like that in my collection. Obverse shows a bearded man, while reverse has possibly something like an animal or horse heading right.

 

@7Calbrey I think that you are right. That style of 'man' on the obverse, does he remind anybody of a part of Europe or time in history?

 

The obv. looks like a king of Characene (South-East Iraq, 1st c. AD), but I don't know if they issued minimi like your small coin.

 

@GinoLR Thank you for your input. I have researched in line with your comment, and while I can see that the style is similar (and closer than I have come on my own) I cannot yet find a definitive attribution.
I shall bear Attambelos I. c.47-24 B.C. in mind, though.
Thank you, again.
