    Waiting for this one. I think I have it nailed as:
    AEOLIS, Aigai. Circa 3rd Century BC. Æ 9mm (0.98 gm).
    Laureate head of Apollo right / Head of goat right.
    SNG Copenhagen 4.

    Feel free to post your goats.

    => I think your cool new example is merely a "kid"

    ;)

    I actually love wee coins (the artist needed a steadier hand to create your lil' work of art)
