Do you have a reference for your statement, as I don't see any similar samples available on internet under Mysian coinage?

It is not a griffin, but a dove (wings open, flying right).
I would like to say 'similar to those of Sikyon' for example,
but I know of no coin from Sikyon with this reverse type.
I'm not much help, I'm afraid.

Thanks for your further assistance...

I cannot confirm with any reference (this is not my area of study) but it should be from Pisidia, Antiochia... according to this old thread:
