Here is what I think so far;

Obverse: Diademed Head Right, Legend difficult to read.

Reverse: Emperor standing front, looking right, holding spear or labarum in left hand & looks like 'Baton' in right hand. Also Crescent in left field (with no dot or star in it)
Legend: PRINCIPI[????????????]

A Roman coin with "PRINCI" often refers to PRINCIPI IVVENT, an inscription meaning "Prince of Youth," typically found on coins of young emperors or heirs like Philip the Arab (Philip I), honoring them as leaders of the young generation, often depicted with military gear, a globe, and a spear or staff.
