This one has me stumped! Closest I can figure is that this is likely from Pamphylia, Aspendos, based on the triskeles.

AR 9mm, 0.42g (hemiobol)
Obv: Female bust right, hair braided and drawn back into bun, maybe wheat ears behind?
Rev: Triskeles of human legs

Tried all permutations of that description on acsearch, and I can't find anything remotely similar. Any ideas?

Closest I'm seeing are a couple of Artemis obverses with very similar looking renditions of the triskeles on the reverses, although no beaded border. The busts are very different, however - although the first (also 0.42 gm like the OP coin) does have some doohickies behind the neck like yours,
Steve.

Folks over at FORVM are on point!

It's not a published type; perhaps just a handful known.
