AE 22 Asklepios & Hygeia ID

Hello!
Interesting coin 22 mm, 6.43 gr, 5 h.
I see NEOKLAY[…] on rev.
Maybe it's Neoclaudiopolis (Paphlagonia)? What's your opinion?

Hi Vlad,

The obverse portrait looks like Trajan.

Coins with that reverse type were usually minted in Thrace or Moesia, but you could be right.

I found an article in on-line newspaper Schwäbische Post about excavations in Oberdorf (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). Here is the picture of coin that was found in place of important trade routes of the Roman Empire. And this coin of Claudiopolis (Paphlagonia)! That’s small sensation for Germany, I think. The coin proves the existence of trade relations between distant parts of the Empire. Apparently, I'm still right about the origin of the coin. It would be nice to get a reference to a collection where it's at. But that's impossible probably
