Note Stauber quotes the dating of the coin ‘Frühe kaiserzeit, wohl augusteisch’ and makes the comparisons with the similar coins of Pergamum and Perperene (RPC I, 2373-78 and 2350), which perhaps suggest slightly later date, in the mid first century. It is not clear what the additional letters on the obverse might stand for.
