Any ideas what this denarius/quinarius is?

Hi all. I recently bought some small lots of Roman silver coins on eBay, and this one was included.

It's 16-17mm in diameter, and weighs 2.64g.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

I have no idea, but could it be an extremely worn Ariobarzanes?!

 

Too light for a denarius and too heavy for a quinarius, not a RR I’d say

 

Actually, it's Crawford 408/1 - a denarius.

The obverse has Apollo and the reverse has the youth on horseback right.

http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/127425.php is one of mine.

I think it's 408/1 vs the similar 340/1 due to what remains of the obverse which probably once had a high relief image of Apollo.

It's a stretch to say that there's a club symbol behind Apollo's head, but there might be!

Well done, Aidan!

Very light, but worn Denarius.

 

LOL

 

Ah come on, Columbo - you can even read PISO on the reverse

Well, on my 'phone, if I turn it sideways and have already realised that it's PISO, it looks like PISO
