AE 9mm.  0.80g.

Head of a bull facing three-quarters to right / Barley grain ANTIO above, (X)EΩN below.

Another puzzle from Caria!

Antiochia ad Maeandrum? or Alabanda as Antiocheia?

Thank you for all your help.

In HNO it is assigned to Alabanda as Antiocheia and they call the object a branch  :): http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=2150

Perhaps an ear of grain, the coin in HNO could be this as well (and not a branch).
