Coin identification

Hello everyone: Happy New Year!
Well, I've already spent some time at Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, between cornucopias and radiated heads, which at this point, the cornucopia looks like my son's upside-down saxophone.
And I still can't find anything like it except those of Zebinas. I resorted in a desperate moment to chatgtp and he/her kindly replied that: It is possible that this is not an issue directly attributable to Alexander II Zabinas, but a civic coin of a city within the Seleucid sphere of influence. Hellenistic cities used to use symbols similar to the royal style for their local coins.
- Some cities in Syria or Mesopotamia, such as Antioch, Seleucia Pieria or even smaller secondary workshops, could have issued coins with similar designs.
Is this possible?
But.... Why so much certainty that it is not Seleucid? I can neither affirm nor deny it, but if someone would be so kind as to comment, I would love to find out more about this beautiful coin.
By the way, I found some very interesting books, that even if this coin has nothing to do with it, it's a lot of fun to learn.



Greetings to all and I hope to find something more.

Danielus, I have been on the hunt as well it looks like you have been busy, happy new year

I would very much like to figure this out

 

It is not a Seleucid issue because the style does not match and more importantly there is no inscription with the kings name. Virtually every coin will have the kings name on it except for very rare examples, but none will be KA. You would see B A or Phoenician script.

Which volumes have you checked? The entire SNG catalog takes up about 10 feet on the shelf as I remember it.
