(Perikles sent me different images with a somewhat clearer legend).

Severus Alexander, AE of Adramyteum, Mysia. AD 222-235.
AYT K M AYR CEB ALEXANDROC, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right.
EPI CTR AYR GAIOY B NE ADRAMYTHN-W-N, Asklepios standing right, leaning on serpent-entwined staff.
Fritze Mysien 163-165; Stauber Adramytteion 236-239A; Mionnet V, 39; Paris 46.

A somewhat clearer example is here:
