I cannot help identify it, but those that can may need larger closeup pictures of the coin.

Looks like a coin of Rhodes.
Tetrobol is the nearest I can find for weight.
Sap could provide an interesting answer in this case.

Thankyou
Actually I have the wrong weight - it is actually 4.08g.This afternoon I actually identified it as a Rhodes coin with the head of Helios and the Rhodes rose.Think it is a Drachme.

If it is 4.08 grammes in weight, it is almost certaily a drachm.
