This new coin is no doubt linked with 2156 and provides the mint where both series (2156 and 2156A) were struck. It therefore confirms Imhoof-Blumer's intuition: 'Diese Münze soll aus Amisos stammen' (GRMK pp. 281-2, n° 16).The identification of both portraits remains difficult. See now P. Sánchez, “Une émission monétaire inédited’Amisos, ciuitas libera et foederatasous le Principat.” Revue Numismatique 178, 2021, 115-36, for the identification of the portraits as Octavian and Julius Caesar.
