Plucked today from a shop's bin of unsorted material. I feel like I ought to rather easily be able to identify it, but I've been striking out so far. It's 19-20+ mm in diameter, with a current weight of just over 7 grams (although it certainly weighed more that that before corrosion took its toll).

@luck, you know that Bob is the master at these things, but while we wait for him to weigh in, this looks like Dionysus on one side and Pegasus with a little grain sprig on the other. Perhaps Thessalonica circa 187 to 168 BC?

Thank you both, gentlemen. Looks to be cataloged as Moushmov 6656, issued circa 187-31 BC.
