Hello,

If anyone has any hint for me regarding this one, please help. I do not know even if the obverse pic. is in the correct position.
1.35 gr and 10mm

Thank you in advance.

Maybe like this:

LESBOS, Antissa. Circa 250/40-167 BC. Æ (10mm, 0.73 g, 7h). Bull standing left, head reverted; star below / Club. Joy 600b; HGC 6, 872.

:) I gave this one very little chances to be identified. This is great.
One more time... thank you Pekka.

All the best,

I think that the chances of this being from Antissa of the
type shown is very near if not approaching/exactly zero.
Unfortunately I cannot assist with what it is, but I most
definitely believe I can say what it is not.
Can you supply better pictures?
Try less background and clearer detail on the coin. Also,
a smaller file size helps load faster (not a smaller image
size, just file size - they are too big).
