Perhaps the horse is a cow, it looks a bit like these macedonian coins with Athena and cow: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8664905
but is too small and too light for that.

Better (sharper) pictures would help

.

A little better , still it seems to me that it is a horse or a wolf a lion ? , A mane on the neck ?

I read ΑΜΦΙ above the animal, so it is probably from Amphipolis in Macedonia. I didn't know that they minted this type in such a small size $:-\$ .

Here are some examples, but they are all a bit larger:

There are also contemporary imitations of this type which are sometimes a bit smaller and lighter, but looking a bit strange:

What do you want to tell me with that

.

The animal on these coins is called a bull, an oxen or a cow, and mostly you clearly see a pair of horns. So it is in any case some sort of cattle

I read reverse:

so Amphipolis is possible place for your coin.
