Hey guys - Any help with ID would be appreciated. Here's my take:

Some greek coin, 29mm, countermarks of two fish on observe and maybe a countermark of a bird? on the reverse. Not sure who the head is, Zeus or Heracles..

The one thing that stuck out to me is that it is not very wide and "almost" cup shaped, like a byzantine coin. Very odd.

I have not had time to do a search for you yet but the 2 c/marks I can see look like a Tripod on Obverse and possibly an Anchor on the Reverse.
The Reverse image also looks to be a Tripod between the legends.
Hopefully someone like @BobL will be along soon to give more precise info.

Thanks Tenbobbit, I see the Tripod on the reverse now. I still can't place it though :( Is that an Apollo head maybe?
