It looks like this one from Sardis: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/2/1305
overstruck on something else  ???.

Perhaps overstruck on Nero?:

Just a guess, it is not as clear as it should be  :-\.

In T. V. Buttrey, Ann Johnston, Kenneth M. MacKenzie, and Michael L. Bates, "Greek, Roman, and Islamic Coins from Sardis", Cambridge 1981, there is on pages 81-82 in Note 247 a short paragraph about overstriking in Sardis, especially over Nero:
