ID Help: Male Head ? / Grapes

[OldMoney]

Another one I missed out on, but feel I need to know more about:

15mm, 2.01g
Obv: Male(?) head right,
Rev: Bunch of grapes.

The obverse appears to show traces of legend, including what seems to be
". . NEIKO . ." behind the bust.
This may, at first, appear to indicate Nicomedia, but my search has yeilded no
results from that city. There are other cities which may begin with the letters
Nico... (Nicopolis, Nicaea, etc.), but they also reveal no matching results with
any of my searches.

Also, the reverse has traces of "ΠPO.." to the right.

Perhaps there is some suggestion that this could be Nicopolis ad Istrum,
given that the form of that city's ethnic includes 'PRO[c'. However, the single
type I have located (in two examples on acsearch) show the helmeted head
of Athena, rather than the apparently male (sans helmet) bust here.
eg:
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1543354
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=439889
(these two share the same obverse die)

Usually I can find a similar obverse type, or a reverse die that is close, but
here I cannot find anything sufficiently resembling the coin in question.

Is this something familiar to anyone here? Suggestions welcomed.

I wish these people would stop outbidding me!

Thanks in advance,

Just stumbled (rather clumsily I might add) across something a little
closer, on Wildwinds' Nicopolis ad Istrum page:
http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/moesia/nikopolis/i.html
Listed under "Moushmov 870cf" (sixth coin down).

Not an exact match, but certainly possible (if not probable).

Any further suggestions?

I think you have found it.
Once, some 17 years ago, I had a coins like this, from Nicopolis ad Istrum.
The legend was clear. Seeing the photo it was my first thought.
