On 24 February 2022, we found the following item that appears to be both an obs and rev die match for the above coin. Not only that, it is also a fouree, though not identified as such by the dealer on VCoins. 

This example has full control marks mostly missing from the example shown above. With the die matches I would agree with the ID as SC 2078.1 from Uncertain Mint 101, in Syria, N. Mesopotamia or Cilicia. 

This example is being offered on VCoins by London Ancient Coins Ltd for ₤85. It is 18mm, 4.19g and 12h.
