Margaret Thompson in "Coins for the Eleusinia" {Coins for the Eleusinia
Margaret Thompson
Hesperia: The Journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Vol. 11, No. 3, The American Excavations in the Athenian Agora: Twenty-Second Report (Jul. - Sep., 1942), pp. 213-229 on Jstor (also on the internet) .

says about a UNIQUE type that confuses the obverse of one with a reverse of another Svronos  pl 103 no 40.

I have no Svronos!

But it could be valuable!
Remember that this article is 1942 and a lot has changed since then including her views on the New Style coinage of Athens, culminating in 1961, which generally still stands except for the dating.

EDIT This is not the one. In the footnote it says Triptolemus Obs But,  Rev 2 Owls with a plemechoe between and A :Greek_Theta:(E).

Yours thus might truly be unique and if so needs publishing.

I have no Modern books , but see" NEW VARIETIES OF THE ELEUSINIAN TRIPTOLEMOS/PIGLET COINAGE FROM THE BCD COLLECTION" for the footnotes on academia.edu for modern sources and discussions
