Hello. Its a coin of Caracalla from the City of Tabae in Caria. Below i've linked the RPC links to the two types that it could be. Unfortunately, the pictures are not good enough for me to tell what variant yours is but, Ill list the major differences between the types below and maybe you could figure it out with the coin in hand.

 

First main difference is that the obverse styles are different. The most drastic effect is that eye on type 64724 is larger and has a bit of a “buggy” look.

 

The second difference is with the Magistrate names on the reverse. This results in different legends. The easiest place to see this would be at the top of the coin. Type 64724 typically has “ΠΟΛ” or “AΠΟ” at the top. While type 64723 is typically “EMI”.
