Your coin is from Kyme on Mysia like this one.

... Your coin is from Kyme on Mysia like this one. ...
A little hint: Kyme is situated in Aiolis, not in Mysia  :).

Hi VC,

Zoser and Alta are correct.

I immediately recognized the type. The one-handled vase gave it away.

A little hint for the future: Whenever you see a one-handled vase depicted on a coin, think of Kyme.

Here is a Kyme coin with the same type of vase (scroll down, third coin):
