11-12mm in diameter

beardless portrait, with an image of a face on the reverse, looks to me like medusa.

Mallos in Cilicia. On sites like acsearch you won't find too many but they're no as rare as they used to be. I've personally owned at least 5 of them.

Thanks areich, I believe I might own another one myself. This coin looks very similar to me.
