Dear Forum,

another riddle from a lately acquired lot.

AE 21, 6.50 grm.

Obv. Laur. cuir. bust right.
Rv. Person on horse galloping left; right arm raised.

Potentially from the  Judaea/Decapolis area.

Any help is highly appreciated.

This An uncertain issue of M. Aurelius Caesar. The obverse leg. names M. Aurelius as Caesar, the rev. has the name of Antoninus Pius. Probably it also Pius on horseback depicted. It seems to be unpublished, although some examples of multiple dies have come to market. You can find some in CNG's historic sales. This one from Tom Vossen seems to be a specimen of the same dies as yours:
