Possibly a worn specimen from Pella in Macedon, BMC 20.

Thank so much Archivum for your help, I Thought that too, but after seing all coins from Pella on Acsearch, wildwinds etc... I saw that all of them had some letters, some could be erased by time but all of them?

Any picture of a similar one?

King regards

It's a pretty worn coin, with some pitting besides. That is bad news for softly-struck legends. For what is worth, there's a similar Thessalonica issue.

Thessalonica seems to be more likely as all the ones depicted on acsearch have no legends or just few letters.

Thanks so much Archivum!
