I just acquired this coin from a set of unidentified Roman and Greek coins on ebay. I have great success using http://numismatics.org/ocre/identify for identifying the Roman coins and some success using Google Lens for the ancient Greek coins. This is the one I am having trouble with perhaps because of its low grade. It weighs 4.09 grams and has a diameter of about 16 mm. It has a thickness of just over 3 mm. It is made of bronze and has what appears to be the head of a Greek god, perhaps Zeus. The reverse appears to have a horse and some Greek lettering. I have attached photos. Can anyone help me identify this coin? Thanks!

Not an expert by any means, possibly head of Heracles right / horseman, with some text vertical on right. I was thinking Alexander III, but I can't find a match. Good luck.

It looks Greek, Zeus/rider on horse. Several cities struck coins like this. But yours is so worn it's difficult to say. You could try to find a match on Wildwinds or acsearch.info.
