Help for an unknown small coin
« on: November 12, 2020, 10:12:34 am »
Dear friends!

This small coin I have got from a friend who has bought it on a flea market in Basel/Switzerland:
AR, 14.87mm, 1.89g, 90°
obv. legend unreadable
         in lower l. field monogram
         Male figure stg. frontal, head l., holding in l. arm transversal sceptre and in extended r.
         hand small Nike
rev. [AXILSW[E?...]
        in lower r. field monogram
        Horseman, nude, on horse walking r., raising r. hand
ref. ???

Anyone who does know this coin or can give me a hint? It is possible too  that it is a fake.

Thanks in advance
Jochen
