Silver obol.
Perhaps silphium fruit or facing panther head or scalp?
Swastika in incuse square

I can't find this one. Anyone know it? Thanks.

shanxi:
Panther or lion might be possible, there are two examples with swastika on acsearch

Both with an attribution to Pantikapaion but without reference ?? I am not sure. Many Pantikapaion obols show a panther but usually not a swastika  :-\

This Pantikapaion page shows also an Obol and two Hemiobols with Swastika, but again without reference.
