Looks to me like a *very* beat-up Macedonian Alex III
'standard' type - Alexander in lion-skin headdress on
obverse, bow-case and club on reverse with some
inscription (often ALEXANDROY) in between them.
This might be the 1/2-size of the typical 5-7gm
20mm piece. Coin #630

Note.
Sandan was a Hittite High God, and like all the High Gods, his feet were believed never to touch the earth. Riding on the back of a powerful mythical animal, as Sandan does here with a horned lion, was an often-used means of transportation for these Gods. Sandan's appearance on a 2nd Century AD Cilician coin shows the lasting impact of the Hittite occupation of Cilicia, which occurred 18 centuries before this coin was struck.okidoki

Note.
Sandan (or Sandon or Sandas) was an ancient Anatolian god associated with both war and the weather, and was known in the area of Tarsos from Hittite times (the second half of the 2nd millenium BC). The figure of Sandan on a lion first appears on the coinage of Tarsus in the 2nd century BC, but it was certainly much older. The shrine to Sandan in Tarsus existed at least until the 3rd century AD okidoki

Cistophoric Tetradrachm of Apamaeia- Attalid Empire 145-139 BCOBV: Cista Mystica with half open lid from which a serpent emerges; all within an ivy wreath
REV: Two coiled serpents with heads erect; between them an ornamental bow-case with strap at right and bow projecting to the upper left. In field to left- monogram of Apameia. In right field Head of an elephant. In lower coils of the snakes: to left initials MI and to right - Delta H.
The coin is listed in Kleiner and Noe's (The Early Cistophoric Coinage; ANS Numismatic studies. No 14, NY 1977) as part of Series 23. The cistophori of Apameia were minted at Pergamum. Kleiner believes the initials on cistophori represent mint officials at Pergamum. This identification is entirely the work of djmacdo ("Mac") on the Forum.

This is one of the gorytos bronzes that Price does attribute to Asia Minor, in this case to an uncertain mint in western Asia Minor. Price didn't indicate his reasoning or precedents of his attribution. In the past, this variety was often attributed as an anonymous issue. SNG Tübingen, SNG Cop. and AMNG III/2, for instance, attributed it this way, though McClean and Hunterian give it to Alexander. The inscription consists of just the royal title "Basileos" ("King"), the full meaning of which could be "of King Alexander", or it could refer to another king as this bronze type was issued by others beside Alexander. Along with the inscription, the styling of this particularly variety is also distinctive, particularly Herakles battle-fierce gaze, which may well be meant to refer to Alexander himself. During Alexander's reign the East was more receptive to such statements of regal authority than Greece and Macedonia. The mint mark on this specimen, below the club, is a torch, sometimes called a race torch (from rg.ancients.info/alexander/bronzes.html)
Because the legend is only BASILEWS this type is from the time of the confusion after the death of Alexander the Great. So it is probably Philip III (rover1.3)

Borysthenes was the ancient name of the river Dnjepr and the city of Olbia too. Together with the river Bug the Dnjepr flows into the Black Sea through the same liman. In the Latin of the 4th century the river was called Danapris, the origin of the recent name (Ukrainian Dnipro). The orator and philosopher Dion of Prusa draws in his 'Borysthenic oration' a fascinating picture of the city of Olbia and a human society embossed by Stoic and Platonian ideas.
Later the river Dnjepr was one of the most important rivers of the Vikings.
