Tetartemoreon - 1/48th stater lion head

Please help me to identify this one. I don't understand the reverse. I'm sorry for the unclear photos but the coin is very tiny.

Regards

The reverse is just an irregular punch mark and I think the obverse is not a lion.
In my opinion, it's this type:

Thank you. I've seen that coin before too but i tought it was different from my coin. The forehead to the nose seems straight from your example, and more examples i've seen with that ref. That's why i tought to see a lion head.

These come with a lot of different nose types, from straight and thin to globular.
