Or is this coin, only smaller denomination? I look forward to your opinions

 

Compared with 3 grams shown coin

 

HAHA, love that pic.

 

... sorry, but Bing's photo got me chuckling about all of these funny types

 

I can just barely make out the obverse---and the depiction of horse(s), or a biga, on the reverse....which makes it seem like you have a match from your link..

A 'half unit'? That's one I can't recall coming across---at least referred to in that way ...

 

Mikey, You can see the chariot, but the letters below the line under the stairs have not been put on the coin or the letters were not there

 

While not easy to use, this site has a lot of coin photos and information. They are especially good in smaller denominations where most sites show more dekadrachms than obols. To use, click on a region on the map and then on a city.

I think the attribution of your coin is right here, but the grade is far off. I would not call this coin good ex. fine. I would call it maybe Fine at best. Nice coin tho.

 

Thank you Ancientnoob, I also think that the right to attribute the coin, I just have a greater value and possible rare coin toy….

 

That coin of the Brettii certainly seems like a match to me...

 

Like this one? "Kore" on the obverse.

JBGood,yes, it is the most correct description. you're right

 

The reverse is a no brainer I think.

 

Ummm, or this one perhaps? ...
