it came uncleaned so not the best condition/detail. in
hand I can see there's a feint image of a person sitting
facing right., elbow right parallel to thighs and maybe
other arm straight as if resting hand on seat.

it was sold as a greek coin and have the +90 degrees
orientation that's common to greek types.

actually that's a decent match on the hephaetus side.
(mines too worn to tell)
my dolphin is swimming right though. the dolphin still
retains some relief, if you start at 3 o'clock(that's where
it's head/nose is) and follow the darker green curve/line
the pointy bit in the top right quadrant is it's dorsal fin.

it's so hard to get pictures to show what I can see with
the coin in hand.

Tell me about it!

Some careful cleaning might reveal something below the dolphin which will give you more clues.
