I think this could be from the Paphos, Cyprus mint.
Paphos, Cyprus, late 4th Century B.C. AE 17, 3.811g. Head of Aphrodite left / Cypriot letters, dove standing right on sceptre, SGCV II 5785
See the ex-Forvm example on wildwinds (with countermark on rev.):
I know yours looks like a male head, but I am almost sure it is this one.
