I just know this piece as silver obol with head left. But it should be Massalia. In the field left of the A there is a M I suppose.

Indeed a silver greec obol struck in their colony of Massilia ( now Marseille, S-France ). 400-300 BC I believe. M A stands in 2 quarters of the cartwheel. The head on the obverse must be of some young deity. Anyone knows who?
