Thank you Pete and Jochen.  +++

First i was thinking Club and Bow case?? For me it looked like more letters. But i found some other pitures of better coins and got it!  ;D

So an possible text/ID would be.

Kingdom of Macedon. Alexander III Æ17.
Uncertain mint in Macedon c. 336-323.
Head of Herakles r., wearing lion skin / Club and bow in bow case. Price ?. 4.42g, 17mm

Love these small Bronze coins.
