       Hi Mario,

  I’m not 100% sure of course – but might not this be the same reverse?
 
  It looks the same to me.  Nike advancing left.”
  I sure didn’t see one anywhere else either – and did a fair amount of searching – just for the practice.

  &nd, yes - this coin (shown below) is identified as a Demetrios III / Nike; Damascus.
 
AE 21, 96-95 BC
Obv: Radiate head right
Rev: Nike advancing left
5 grams, 21mm
LSM 117
 
  The thumbnail image is the only one available.

      BOL!  & kind regards,

                        Tia

   Very much my pleasure, Mario.  :)

  I’m enjoying practicing.
  I can honestly say, I’m still thoroughly bad at it generally...

   Best regards,

           Tia
