Dear all, I’m far from my library but not from the auctions 😁
I won this intruding coin but I can’t fully id the bust type. may it be “holding globe in left hand, rising right hand”?
Thanks

It is not completely clear, but I think you have the bust type correct. It is not in RIC or Bastien. Below is the same bust type with different obverse legend and Sol advancing.
