Too rough for my eyes, but try Kassander.

It is from Kolophon like this: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1943183
but with magistrate ... :Greek_Tau: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Delta: :Greek_Omega: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Omicron: :GreeK_Sigma: . Unfortunately I didn't find a refernce for exactly that magistrate on this type :-\ .

Münsterberg gives this possibility:

Μητρόδωρος Kl. M. 70

But there is a rho which does not fit ;). The better possibility would be "Ἑκατόδωρος Journ. int. XIII 100"

This is most definitely NOT a coin of Alexander (nor Kassander for
that matter), instead being from:

Ionia, Kolophon, c.330-285 BC

An image of a similar item on WildWinds:

If the -TO- can be confirmed before -DWROS, then the magistrate
is most likely to be EKATODWROS (according to the LGPN).
