I'm really having a hard time finding anything for this one. The obverse shows a head facing right with dolphins around it (Apollo? just a guess). The reverse shows a prow with a trident above. The coin is slightly scyphate. Any help is appreciated.

Sure it's not a (trident and) club with quiver and bow?

Different monogram here - not a trident - but for comparison, see below. The B-A are pretty easy to see:

Here's another, with a branch rather than trident:

Wow, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The bowstring looked like waves and the club looked like the horizontal bar under a sail... couldn't have been more wrong. I did some poking around and came up with Alexander III, Price 386... similar to Price 387, but without the star before the B A. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
