Check out this website I found.... Yours looks like the "Punch Drunk Dionysos" Example.

Q."Would this be worth the price I paid?"

A. For sure! I paid $177 shipped, for mine in similar condition. I have to reshoot my Thasos Tet, I noticed distortion in the pic when it scaled down in this thread...

There is a massive range in style on these.

Here is mine that I bought with money I had for Christmas this year (people know that I will use it to buy myself a coin / coins).

Thasos, Thrace, Silver Tetradrachm
Obv:â€" Head of a youthful Dionysos to right, wearing elaborate ivy wreath with leaves and berries
Rev:â€" HRAKLEOVS SWTEROS, Youthful Herakles, nude but for drapery over his shoulder and let arm, standing facing, his head to left, holding a club in his right hand and resting his left at his waist; QASIWN in exergue. MH monogram
Minted in Thasos, Thrace. After 148 B.C.
Reference:â€" SNG Cop.1040

Dionysos

One of our members Dionysos (batman) has probably the greatest example of this coin type I have ever seen, save the drool for that one. I almost died when I saw it.
