I need a starting point on this coin!

Hi all;
I need a starting point as I do not have a clue as to what this is. Any help will be appreciated, even guesses. Thanks.

From the legend, Amisos.

I think there may have been a similar coin posted on this board recently...

Thanks Steve;
Pontos, Amisos Brass Æ21. Time of Mithradates VI, ca 85-65 BC. Head of young Ares right in crested helmet / AMI-SOU, sheathed sword. SNG BMC Black Sea 1161.

I did not recognize what that sword was on the coin rev.

Thanks again.
