In the BMC catalog there is mentioned a coin from Termessus minor which seems to be the right one:

on page 276 number 3.

Unfortunately I didn't fins apicture of it  :-\.

I did find something :).

In  The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Numismatic Society, Third Series, Vol. 17 (1897), pp. 25-30, there is an article by George Frances Hill "Oinoanda : A New Greek Mint".
The coin from the BM is described there on page 28 as number 5: https://archive.org/stream/numismaticser1v17royauoft#page/28/mode/2up
and it is depicted on plate I as number 7: https://archive.org/stream/numismaticser1v17royauoft#page/92/mode/2up

Here is the article alone with slightly better pictures: https://de.scribd.com/doc/237322132/Oinoanda-a-new-Greek-mint-G-F-Hill

The specimen in the BM is the only one I found, so the coin seems to be pretty rare  :) .

Regards

Altamura

Awesome, such a great job.

Mine was solt as Artemis-Eagle and in fact looking at the coin, on your left hand site, under the figure there is an eagle (I thought it could maybe be a duck), the coin depictured on the book you said seems to be equal enough to say that they are the same coin, and it even seems that there is something at the same place as mine has the eagle, although it is not indicated on the book.

Thanks so much
