« on: March 26, 2023, 11:11:05 am »

AE 11mm.  1.40g.

Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ Bow in bow-case above, thunderbolt below.

Unfortunately, I could not find another sample of this coin.

Reference is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I agree that it may belong to miletus but non of this fits Pekka.

All of them have a club, whereas my sample has a thunderbolt below!
