The reverse die looks very similar to this coin from a Roma auction - perhaps the engraver making some money on the side?

Crawford 374/1, RSC I Caecilia 43, Sear RCV I 301 (ill.), Sydenham 750, BMCRR Spain 43. 18 mm., 3.9 g.*

*See Sear RCV I at p. 128: “The issuer strikes as imperator in Northern Italy where he was campaigning on behalf of Sulla. The following year he was to be the dictator’s colleague in the consulship.” See also Crawford Vol. I p. 390: “This issue was produced by Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius, serving as a Sullan commander in the fight against Carrinas, Norbanus and Carbo. The obverse type [of Pietas] . . . alludes to his cognomen, acquired for his part in securing the restoration from exile of his father Q. Caecilius Metullus Numidicus.” The stork depicted in front of Pietas “is an emblem of family piety and an occasional adjunct of the goddess.” Jones, John Melville, A Dictionary of Ancient Roman Coins (London, Seaby, 1990) p. 243, under entry for Pietas.  (Apparently, the Romans believed that the stork demonstrated family loyalty by returning to the same nest every year, and that it took care of its parents in old age.)  
Crawford also states at Vol. I p. 390 that “[t]he reverse type of an elephant recalls the capture of Hasdrubal’s elephants by L. Caecilius Metellus in 251 [BCE]” (also commemorated by an elephant denarius of C. Caecilius Metellus Caprarius in 125 BCE; Crawford 269/1, RSC I Caecilia 14).The family was known for its opposition to Caesar.

Septimius Severus

 

Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax

Province Bronze of the Roman Imperial period 193/211 AD; Material: AE; Diameter: 23.4mm; Weight: 6.09g; Mint: Antiochia ad Pisidiam, Galatien; Reference: Krzyzanowska XXV/46; Provenance: Dr. Busso Peus Frankfurt, Ex Dr. Plümacher Collection; Obverse: You can see the draped bust of Septimius Severus with laurel wreath facing right. The inscription reads: L SEPT SEV AVG IMP P for Lucius Septimius Severus Augustus Imperator Pertinax; Reverse: The standing moon god Men Askaenos is shown facing right, wearing a Phrygian cap and resting his right foot on a bucranium (cattle skull). In his left outstretched hand he holds a Nike statuette with globe, in his right hand a long scepter. A rooster is depicted to the left of his feet. The inscription reads: COL MIN ANTIOC for Colonia MHN Antiochia (Colony of the god MHN Antiochia).

 

Comment: Men (MHN, Latin Mensis) was an ancient moon deity who was worshiped in Asia Minor, especially during the Roman Empire. The moon god is a very old god figure of the region of Anatolia, which dates back to 3000 BC was worshiped. He was the god of heaven and at the same time a god of healing and prophecy. Antioch was one of the most important centers of the Men culture and therefore closely connected with it. Southeast of Antioch, the moon god Men was already around 400 BC built a great sanctuary. The temple has been partially preserved so that relics from the period could be found and interpreted. The temple at Carrhae was also dedicated to the moon god.
