Greek bronze?
« on: April 15, 2024, 03:45:51 am »
20.0/18.0 mm 2.55 g. Head of Athena / horse(?) galloping to right, BAΣІΛΕΩΣ.. the king's name is not readable. The coin is very thin.

Maybe a lion not a horse, like this:

The are several variations of this type. It's hard to say which is your coin.

Thank you, you're probably right though my coin weights only half than usual

Probably an ancient imitation of the type.  The style is not normal.
