10 mm, 3,56 gr.
It thick. There 3 letters "M" "A" and delta. God with a birdie is represented, the birdie looks at god in the left. On the left shoulder onions (bow) hang. Near the head a strange subject: either cap or UFO(?). It can do wushu of the head of a hare?
PS. Near at hand is clearly depicted the Macedonian helmet.

Is there any way you can give bigger pictures. It is difficult to see the detail.

to the community I've fixed your pictures a bit, hopefully we will be able to see more detail. I did notice some type of design below the standing figure on the reverse which I can't make out. Can you draw the design and post it?   |

We could do with a picture taken straight down onto the coin, rather than at an angle.

If the bird is an eagle, it is normally associated with Zeus. You mentioned a bow in your first post, that is usually associated with Apollo.
The minature helmet could it be a counter mark? Or is it part of the design of the coin? I can't make out where the helmet is in the picture.

This is probably of little help but the MA could indicate that the coin came from Massalia a region in Gaul. Was the coin a ground find?

This coin is part of a very old collection, and found it in the ground really, but more than 100 years ago. And who knows where.And what does the delta?

i don't know on this one, where are our greek experts?
it looks like a feminine figure on the revers, but sometimes apollo looks girlie. if it were a roman coin I would guess it was spes holding a flower.
