I cannot find this coin Amphipolis, Macedonia on Wildwinds.

It was described to me as Obv. Diademed Male Head, Rev. A, M, F, I, race torch
The only reference I was given was SNG ANS 92 but I cannot look that up.

Can anyone tell me where I might find a better attribution for it, please?
AE10.6 mm, Wt 1.32 gm

I don't have any SNG catalogs but a quick check of CNG's sold archives (search terms "amphipolis, SNG ANS 92") shows two examples of coin with although there's not any additional attribution detail except for estimated date of striking. Here's one of them:

That is a very nice coin TC. A little gentle cleaning (nothing more than DW and a toothbrush) and it will be lovely.
