Hi Folks

It has been fantastic the knowledge base I have found on here when it comes to these most unusual coins. I have another, the smallest coin I have ever seen. It is approx 6.5mm -7mm and weighs 0.5g . It looks to depict a water ure and something else that I am unsure of at the bottom. On the other side is like a knot or possibly wheel design. Any help in identification would be truly appreciated. Thanks all in advance.

Looks Celtic, East or Central Europe maybe? I see a crude bust obverse, and a spoked wheel or swastika reverse; couldn't find a match though.

I would also say Celtic, other than some small proto-ring money weighing a half gram, this has to be one of the smallest silver coin I've seen from the region.

Thanks Finn, appreciate you taking the time. It definitely has me stumped but will keep looking. It was sold as an ancient Greek "Asia Minor Uncertain AR Obol 400 BC". But have been trying to find it and had no luck. I have to say I saw a water jug so think I may need to find some glasses :D . Thanks again Brian
