Another from my mystery tray.
I cant decide if it is Macedonian or Greek, quite a common reverse type but I am still having trouble identifying it.
The Obverse appears to have a bust left but I am not 100% sure.
Hopefully the reverse will be enough to get us there.
Obverse - bust left ? ( could be right )
Reverse - Hercules right, with club & lion skin. possible vertical legend left & legend right.
Weight - 2.18g
Size - 18mm x 15mm

Thanks for the suggestion Finn.
I had already checked through that particular coinage as it was very similar, its the left facing bust that has me stumped.

What can I say, you nailed it again Bob
Although it has given me some headaches the mystery tray has turned up some interesting little pieces.
Thanks ofcourse goes to you Bob for all your knowledge and search skills
I can tag them now and put them away properly, Thanks again.
