I did a little research and found that I was wrong above.
All of the coins I have found of this issue have badly done eyes.
Id is:
Valerian I AR Antoninianus. Antioch mint, 257 AD. IMP VALERIANVS AVG, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / P M TR P V COS IIII P P, Valerian and Gallienus standing face to face, shields and spears between them. RIC 277, Cohen 169, Göbl 1598a.
My example from Samosata.

I agree with the Geta attribution, but I don't think that it is AMNG 1648...
I don't believe that it is a die match on both sides to the coin shown on Wildwinds.
I actually have a coin from Nikopolis:
Geta
AE15
AD 195-198
Nikopolis ad Istrum
L AVR K - GETAC
Bare head right
NIKOPOLITWN PROC I.
Crescent with 1 6-pointed star in the cavity with dots at the points
15mm
2.0g
ref. a) not in AMNG:
rev. AMNG I/1, 1648
obv. AMNG I/1, 1649
b) cf. Varbanov (engl.) 3236 (= AMNG 1648)
c) not in Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2012):
rev. No. 8.22.48.5 (same die)
obv. e.g. No. 8.22.6.3 (central coin, same die)
Nikopolis Addenda II #216 (second known)
