obverse: lauretted head right

reverse: two soldiers facing front, wearing something that resembles a tunic, holding spears or staves. Looks like they are leaning on their spears while trying to dance after drinking too much wine.

I wish I could say more about it, but there's not much to go on here. I couldn't find any ancient design that is anywhere close. Any clues to it's identity would be appreciated.

Thank you louisvillekyshop for pointing me in the right direction. I came up with Chalkis, Syria - SNG Cop 413. Didn't realize Castor and Pollux went by so many names. Hope they aren't angry at me for mistaking them for drunken soldiers.

Kingdom of Chalcis? Wow. That's a rare country.
