It seems to show Apollo-Aphrodite holding a dove and an   beside Aphodite's foot, the only coins I have found showing these features are from Thessaly Metropolis but different reverse and quite much eavy

To my eye this looks more like nude Apollo walking left with a bow, with an M and A flanking.

I agree. The bird probably is an eagle and additionally Apollo is holding something in his right hand below the eagle, perhaps some sort of vase.
But perhaps the A on the reverse is a lambda.

The only city with MΛ I know is Blaundos in Lydia which has on its early coinage MΛAYNΔEWN as ethnikon.

For MA I remember Masicytes in Lycia. But I didn't find any coin similar to this one, and to my eyes the style of the coin üpresented here is different from the coins of the Lycian League.

But besides of that there are a couple of other cities beginning with MA   .

So in effect I have no idea from which city this coin could be  .

Hi Altamura, thanks so much for your great explanation.

I have had a look at Masicytes coins and yes, letters are similar but style like chalk and cheese.

Let's see if time helps and some coin like this appears, just in case every some months I will ask again.

King regards and thanks so much to everyone
