I had a look into Constantina Katsari, Christopher S. Lightfoot, Adil Özme, "The Amorium Mint and the Coin Finds", Berlin 2012.
It contains a catalog of the coins of Amorion and cites a lot of the reference books you have searched in.

But their catalog does not contain a type with Herakles and a lion. Perhaps your coin is an unrecorded variant.
