AE 24mm  9.57g
Trying again--this time I've actually paired up the right obv. and rev.  Sorry to have wasted the time of those who responded to my original, now removed, post.  Thanks.

That looks like a Roman As of 214 AD, RIC 533.

Here is the corresponding dupondius from Wildwinds, with rare left-facing portrait on obverse.
