Have spent a while on this one, no joy so far.

As near as I can make out, front facing figure possibly Artemis holding a bow and quiver on one side, and a right facing stag on other side.

Any thoughts?

I'm sorry but I can't help with the weight. It's about 17 mm in diameter. The marks on the ruler you can see on the edge of the photo there are millimetres.

Definitely along those lines Pekka. I didn't see a wreath, but when I've blown up the photo and looked again I think I see the remnants. I can see the stag she has there with her. Thanks again.
