Thanks for getting us started on the new century @daviduk!

Here is an As of the Spanish City of Castulo dated to between 200 and 100 BC. I'm not sure who the figure is on the obv, but I thought including his hand was really interesting. On the rev, you can see a sphinx with the tops of the letters KASTILO in the exergue. Attribution is CNH 39 and SNGBM Spain #1338-1140.

Here is a Greek bronze coin of Macedonia minted between 277 and 239 BC. It is attributed as SNG Cop 1205ff and was issued under King Antigonus II Gonatas. You can see his ANTI insignia on the rev under Pan.
