In accordance with the the letters you are able to decipher the reverse  inscription might be "ΘΛΑΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕΝ", like on this coin from Mylasa with Quadriga:

or on this type with bust of Augustus:

both possibly Magistrate Thlastos

Hi folks,

For style comparison purposes, here is my Caria, Mylasa, Augustus coin (scroll down, last coin):

The back of the head of Augustus looks a bit distorted  :-\ . A double or overstrike?

On the left side on the obverse there can be seen (I think at least ;) ) a part of CEBCTO (abbreviating the full CEBACTOC) as on this coin in the BnP:

Is that a snake at the forehead?  To me it looks like an Egyptian head of Isis.  Perhaps I am just seeing things.
