Here's a funky one.. :)
featherz:
Any thoughts? Double struck or double headed? :)
Rupert:
Geryones??

Hmm.. http://www.theoi.com/Pontos/Geryon.htm
Could be! Since I hadn't seen this one before that's the big question. Is the reverse intentionally like that or is it just an error strike? :)
Rupert:
Sorry for making my response so very short; I didn't want to be impolite, but Geryones really was only a very vague idea in lack of better ones. The coin, however, does not really seem to be double-struck to me.
I was also thinking of a former thread in which we discussed a Herculian labour (Antaeus), but the posture of the bodies on this coin doesn't fit for Hercules and Antaeus. See: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=15610
Best regards

The enclosed picture is from a paper of Roberto Pace, "Baris e le sue monete". Unfortunately caption just says "deity with two heads and four arms".
