I don't have time to check at the moment, but it looks like it may be from Larissa.

 

Something like this maybe ?

Thx, i downloaded the book on ionia, Will be hard to find this coin no letters, and woman?
We will see

 

The "woman's" name is Apollo imo

 

The problem is, the coin is so worn that it's difficult to say. Larissa was my first thought as well - the head certainly looks like the nymph Larissa, and the coins frequently have grazing horses. I just haven't seen them in such a small denomination - I've seen obols with the same devices, but not bronze that small.

Then Dionysos posts a link to a Troas coin which is still a little too big, but more in the ball park, and that's also a possibility. Apollo sometimes looks very feminine, depending on the culture that depicts him, and the bust of that coin really isn't all that feminine.

 

Batman is more than likely correct, but this is the type of coin I thought of when first I saw the Okidoki's image:

Thessaly, Larissa Æ17

or this one:

Thessaly, Larissa Æ12

 

Yes, me too. I just can't find one listed at around half a gram.

 

Ok were underway Nice, but ist this a stag?

 

I think it's a stag. I see an antler.

 

Yes me to,

 

Could be Tyche

 

on FORVM, someone suggested

Troas, Alexandreia

 

=> Oki, that's what Dionysos suggested in the second post of your thread (see the link above)

 

Oops yes indeed
thx mate.

 

I don't think it's Ionia? ... I attached a CNG link which shows hundreds of Ionia stag examples, but I couldn't find one similar to your coin's design (check 'em out, my friend) ... note that there are several tabs at the bottom of the page

its the 1 Dionysos posted 95% certain

 

i'd put my money on horse also. i do see the "antler", but look at bings first coin...something is coming up from the head there is well. i think it's a gouge in the neck of the horse instead.
