Hello folks

I got this coin as a hemiobol from Colophon, but I could not find something similiar on online catalogs.

The closest I got was coins from Kyzikos.

Does someone have some idea about it please?

The coin is 3,05 gr and 16mm

Thanks

There is an entire series of coins showing a tripod on one side and Apollo on the other. Since I cannot read the word written on the side of the obverse die, it is hard to choose. There are : Bruttium, Petelia ; Adaios, Kings of Thrace ; Sicily, Syracuse (but with inscriptions on both sides of the tripod; Cassander; Lucania, Thurium, etc. If you could enlarge the picture on the inscription, we could try to solve the riddle.
