Diameter= 10-12mm

Looks to me like a woman reclining on the reverse, not sure though.

This is definitely Seleukid.  A few rulers had similar themes but a quick search should get you a match.

SC 984
Seleukids, Antiochos III AE13. Laureate head of Apollo right with featured of Antiochos / Apollo seated left on omphalos, holding arrow; ANTIOXOY and monogram in field to left.

Not sure if this is a match, definitely looks close.
