Hello,

I am struggling with the identification of an ancient coin (images attached below). Maybe someone with more expertise could help me with this?

The design looks very similar to those of ancient roman coins. I have identified some before, without too much difficulty. However, for this coin, some of the letters seems to be in Greek. I have searched the Numsita and Ocre http://numismatics.org/ocre/) catalogs without any luck.

The coin has around 24 mm on its longer side and a weight of 7.22 g. The material seems to be bronze, but I cannot be certain without further tests.

From what I can see, on my coin the following symbols are present (with * representing letters that I cannot clearly identify):

Obverse: *Y****#581;N ΓOP*****
Reverse: OKO RNE*N or OKO KNE*N

Or something close to that...

Any help with identification and dating would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Cristian
