Hi Tomeckk Z, yes design on anverse and reverse is quite quite similar but inscription, weight and size aren't, a pitty.

Thanks so much for your clue, king regards and Happy new year!

in mine it seems that it's seen  ........

I have searched for Dionysos-Thyrsos on acsearch, 1499 coins popped up, from all of them it seems that the most symilar ones are from Moesia Dionysopolis as on the reverse they show  inscription too:

Later on I have had a research on Wildwinds and this is what I have found:

So it is from Moesia Dionysopolis for sure.

I'll change the header to try to know if someone has a better reffere for it.

Thanks so much

These are humble coins, still not well-catalogued; I agree that WildWinds' Moushmov 73A is about as close as you can get at the moment, though that coin lacks a star and is different in style -- there's a 2014 imprint Tachev's Coinage of Dionysopolis which might get you still closer, if someone would check for you.

It would be awesome, if no I am happy as mint has been found.
King regards

I think this type is from Dionysopolis in Phrygia. Copied below are two entries from the Isegrim database. I can't find an image of an example but will keep looking.

That's it  .
Here is the specimen from the BnF in Paris: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8526694v.r=dionysopolis?rk=171674;4
It is a bit lighter than the coin of zoser, but the type fits exactly.
