Hello All,

Recently picked up this tiny ancient Greek coin from a bargain bin and am trying to ID.

The obverse I've deducted is a bust of Helios. But the reverse and anything else I cannot make out. You can fit about 4 of these on a US Penny.

The Reverse photo I am unsure what us up, what is down.

Any assistance in the right direction for this coin would be appriciated!

Can you post a larger picture of the reverse. It looks like it might be an Arab-Byzantine coin but I need a bigger reverse image to tell.

I'll work on getting that. Its not co-operating too well with how small it is.
