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

Diameter 22-24mm, Weight 5.5g, Bronze

Is becoming a challenge to identify this one.
Looks on the Reverse there is a Rider on Horse of Forepart but I could be wrong, also a star at right. At the inscription I can read ΛΑ(ΜΥ) ? / ΚΗΣΩΝ ?
I am not sure.

You'll have to wait for one of our experts to weigh in, but in the meantime, could this be Lampsacus?

Thank you so much for your kind help Spence!
You are correct, I am looking it now.
ΛAMΨA-KHNΩN is the inscription.
I will manage to identify it from now on.
