With the phrygian cap and the crescent, i would ID as Men.

Beautiful coin, BTW!

[okidoki]

yes thank you.
by cresent you mean the collar of the Mên?

[Aleph]

Yes.  Usually it's more clear when just the head of men is shown.  Men is common to this part of Asia Minor.  Perhaps someone can elaborate further on the significance of Men?

[okidoki]

thank you, men is plural of man if i remember well

[Jochen]

There is an article about Men in the Mythology Thread: Men - the Anatolean Moon God
