The type is what is seen on Philip II coins with the bust of Zeus and the prancing horse. Your coin has a legend below the horse, if you can make out any of those letter it would help with the ID.

I don't have the coin yet only these pictures. The coin is about 23mm so it is larger than the other Phillip II coins I have with the horse on the reverse. Also the horse is on the top of the coin with the legend below which I have not been able to find

Unfortunately for you have to agree with 'echizento', the picture is not clear enough to be sure what the legend says.
Yes, it looks like part of 'BASILEOS' and underneath could end '...POI'.
Ask the seller for a better picture of the reverse, don't also forget not for some types you have to dig through BMC and several SNGs before you find the specific one.
