I found this http://www.acsearch.info/search.htm...iew_mode=1#1
The first two coins are similar to the one that I'm showing, but I think this one is different.

Hello and welcome.

It certainly does look like the coins of Potidaea in the acsearch link you posted. Unfortunately, it's too close a match. I say "unfortunate" because Potidaea only issued silver coins with this design, and your coin does not appear to be silver from what I can see in the photos.

Hello and thank you for the response. I'm almost sure it's silver, it's just not cleaned because I recently found it. It looks like the first shown in the link, but I see some differences in the horse and some dots around the face of the woman. Can you also tell me what's the best way of cleaning it, so I could show better photos. Thank you! :)
