On the obverse I see the head of a bearded man right.
On the reverse something that looks like a galopping horse, running dog or hare?

Sure looks like a boar running from Apulia.

BTW, although Arpi, Apulia did issue right-facing obverse Zeus busts, I think yours may be the much more common left-facing bust. Size is right for this issue. For comparison:

Great! Thanks for the ID. This will be the first coin from that region in my collection. I did visit the Greek colonies a couple of years ago. Nice to also have something that was made there.
