This coin is only 11-12mm and weighs 1.4 grams. I think the obverse is Trident's pitchfork and the reverse appears to be a horse standing left.

Thanks again @Bob L. I don't know how you got all your knowledge about Greek coins but I am so thankful.

No specialized knowledge is needed here. It's just a matter of searching with the right terms. You mentioned the trident and left-facing horse in your post. Obviously the coin is bronze (AE). Okay. Go to acsearch.info, and search with this:

Ae horse left trident

There are only 41 hits, with some clearly matching your coin. Easy-peasy.

And, I'll add: Eliminating terms, by using a minus sign, that don't apply to your coin, but that will likely show up in a general search, will reduce the field,

So, then, since your coin has nothing/no one facing right, and no figures standing or seated or holding anything, let's try this search:

Ae horse left trident -right -standing -seated -holding

This gives us a much more focused return, with only five coins. Two of which match yours.

Thanks @Bob L for the information, especially the acsearch.inf. Now maybe I can identify more of my coins.
