Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my Greek coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help!

Diameter 19x20mm, Weight 5.0g, Bronze

I believe the coin comes from Sicily or Italy.
I tried a lot but I couldn't find a similar with the Eagle right and also the head of the Eagle right
Head of Zeus right / Eagle standing right, holding thunderbolt, monogram to right

Bob, I think you got it, they may be the same.
After studying your sample and comparing with my coin I manage to find a similarity with the head of Zeus and at the reverse I manage to find a very faded trace of ΣΥΡ
Also the weight is very near and based to the low grade of my coin some weight is lost.
Once again thanks a lot Bob for your kind help!
