Hi Guys-

I received some Greek coins in a lot and am trying to ID them. This one measures 25mm and weighs 10.21 grams.

I have narrowed it down to Bosporos and possibly Kotys III. The inscription looks like maybe BACI EWS KOTYOC.

Wreath atop curule chair; shield and spear to left, scepter tipped with bust of Roman emperor to right / MH (mark of value) within wreath.

I cannot find a close match in either Wildwinds or acsearch. I would like to find a closer attribution. Thank you for your help-
