Hi zoser,

The obverse looks like Herakles or Apollo.

The reverse looks like an eagle.

The reverse legend ends in: ... :Greek_Iota: :Greek_Omega: :Greek_Nu:. This is the name of the city, which implies that it is a Greek or Roman Provincial coin.

Youthful bust of Hercules is similar to a coin from Thyatira and the eagle resembles this rare coin from Tomaris. Notice the deformed N by eagles beak on both coins.

Thanks so much for all suggestions!

Ancientone, yes, reverse seems to be equal as the one from Tomaris, but anverse no really, as coin doesn't really show anything else than what is seen on picture maybe no total ID could be done.

King regards

I have found another coin like mine which is now in an auction, I'll post a picture as this coin is so much clear than mine.
ANV really seems to show Herakles as I believed and was looking for but no luck, and REV has more readable letters.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pekka, yes it seems as Ancientone said too, mainly now that you have found an equal ANV.

King regards and thanks
