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

Diameter 15mm, Weight 3.9g, Bronze

Based to my info the coin comes from Sicily but no matter how much I search, I couldn't find it and the quality is not helping either.

Slow night on the board, so seeking out one with no replies...

Not confident about this at all, but here's a comparison of the OP's coin to AE's from Phaselis, Lycia, most around 15 mm (like the OP's) but slightly heavier at 5+ gm. On the other hand, they don't have the environmental damage/corrosion of the coin above either - might that account for the weight difference? Galley prow/galley stern imagery. So, perhaps off-center strike on the obverse of the coin above? Anyway, just a thought.

Essentially:

Hey Bob, thanks a lot for trying to identify this one.
I will study my coin more and compare it with your samples.
I think they are near but need to make sure.
Thank you once again my dear friend!!
