Could use some help identifying this Greek bronze!

Hi all! I just got a lot of bronze coins at a show, and identifying this one has proved troublesome.
It’s around 1.12 g. It is quite similar to many other types, but I am unable to find a match. If anyone knows this coin, please let me know!

Hello Milo:
Just out of curiosity, did you find out anything about this? The only thing I found similar was here in the post

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/helmets-on-ancient-coins.391029/

But it's just similar...

Best regards.

 

I did! Turns out it is from Ilion/Troy. It's a really lovely find

 

Brilliant! I already saw it in wildwinds. Yesterday I was looking for a reverse with a vessel similar to that of your coin and it seemed to be a hydra... I'm glad you found it.
Best regards.

 

Thanks! This coin eluded me for months, man was it good to find it!

 

Illium Troy - very nice one too - I think the reverse is upside down - check it out on the Wildwinds site

 

Hello Blake Davis:
No, the only 2 that appear there are with the reverse in the same way. Besides being a hydra it is logical that its high neck looks upwards.
Best regards.
