Does anyone recognize this coin? It was given to me but I haven't been able to ID it myself yet.

Weight and size are always a big help.

I'm not sure about the weight but it's about an inch in diameter.

Hang tight, I'm going to ask the Mods to move this to the appropriate forum.

I love coins with imagery that includes the tools for making coins. In fact I once started a thread for such coins.

This one depicts Hephaistos/Vulcan with tongs behind his head, radiate facing bust of Helios on the reverse. Malaka, Iberia, 2nd century BC. Neat coin.

Thank you for identifying my coin and sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your help!! I started collecting coins about a year ago and this is by far the oldest thing I've came across.

Here's that old post I referenced. More tongs visible on some of the coins in that thread:
