Hi Young,

For comparison purposes, here is my Troas, Kebren, ram's head coin (scroll down, third coin):

The portrait is obviously different on my example.

Might be a Halikarnassos Persic Hemiobol

The attribution to Halikarnassos  seems to be uncertain.

Therefore we have the one coin per thread rule !


Also you should give the weight. 7-8mm is not necessarily a Hemiobol but could easily be an obol.
