Hi GG,
The reverse looks like a palm branch. Your coin is so far gone that you may never definitively attribute it. There are some possibilities.
Here is one possibility from my own collection (third coin):

Here is another example of that same type:

This may or may not be a correct attribution.

On the reverse you can read for the seleucid year CΞΡ = 166, corresponding to 147/6 BC. So the coin is from Alexander I Balas: http://numismatics.org/sco/id/sc.1.1838
