I acquired this unattributed, and I'm having difficulty pinning it down. It'd help if I could get a better handle on the iconography on its reverse. To me it looks like a lion wielding a sword such as what you can find on modern Persian coinage, but I'm probably wrong about that since it's not leading me anywhere. I'm guessing somebody here will have seen this issue before.

Try Sardes, Dionysos/lion.

Sardes looks to be correct, thank you.
