    There's a bull (?) leaping/charging right and some readable letters above it, so it is probably possible to find the ID. Someone else wanna give it a shot?

    @paschka, can you help us out by providing the weight or diameter?

    is probably still the horse with its tail, which is galloping to the right.

    Not sure how you're getting those letters out of what can be seen on your coin's reverse, plus that's a bull rather than horse.

    Visible letters on your coin's reverse:

    A M Φ(looks more like an O but probably phi) I Π

    = Amphipolis



    Here's an example from Wildwinds:
    Moushmov_5978.jpg


    Macedonia - Amphipolis

    Circa 187-31 B.C.

    AE 17 mm. 6.450 grams.

    Obverse: Head of Artemis r.; at her shoulder, bow and quiver.

    Reverse: Bull bounding r.

    SNG C 72 (Moushov 5978)
