Beats me.

I think I can see the typical gorgon-head with flat nose and tongue sticking out, something like this archaic tetrobol from Parion, but I have no idea how many other cities were also using the gorgon-head during the archaic period; there were probably several; there's not much left of the poor thing to even be sure I'm not just imagining things.

What's the size and weight?

If my Parion theory is correct, that's a little light for a hemidrachm... but then, this coin looks worn enough to have maybe lost half its mass.

Still, the "cruciform-in-incuse-square" does seem to be quite distinctive of these coins.
