You don't need 100k for a nice Zenobia anyway - 10 or 20 should do.
As another poster said, you win Syrian tets!
Yours looks like 1549, laureate, cuirassed, seen from front. Prieur lists two engravers for this type, looks like yours is the second. So perhaps...
You can't possibly take that advice seriously.
