The coin was struck in Patras (Achaea) with reverse legend: GEN COL A PATRENS.

RPC II lists eight types (from 236 to 243) with slightly different obverse legend.

Hard to say which one is precisely yours.

Kind regards.

Thank you all.  I was told many years ago that this was a coin of Corinth.  This clears up a mystery. Regards, V-drome
