Maybe Tyre. Similar to this 15mm coin in an upcoming auction:

If so, reverse legend might be "SEPT IM TVRO COLO". Can you read any of the letters except COLO in hand.

I think that's it.  In hand on the reverse I can read "IM TV" at 12 o'clock (now that I know what I'm looking for).  I can also make out SEV on the obverse.

Thanks, shanxi!!
