Can anyone give me a reference for this coin? Any help with the description would also be appreciated.

I looked in Varbanov and Moushmov:

Both, Varbanov 3764 and  Moushmov 6494 are the same type but with OTACIL instead of OTAC and AVG instead of AVS on the reverse:

An example with OTACIL is here:

SEVERAE A rather than SEVERA AVG in obv. legend is also unusual.
