This coin weighs 2.56g and is 12mm in diameter. I just purchased a huge lot of ancient coins and I am posting the few I could not attribute myself. Any help identifying this would be most appreciated.

Obverse may be a veiled female head (Berenike II? Astarte? Cleopatra?). Reverse is a prow left with - perhaps - a Phoenician date or legend above. Maybe an issue of Marathos, Phoenicia?

Thank you! That appears to be exactly what it is: Phoenicia, Marathos AE15 Hemichalkous Year 73 (187/86BC), Sear 6039
