    Got two in a multiple lot. The first one had remnants of red rubber bands !!!!! (who would do such a thing :eek:) stuck onto it and I really was thinking of recycling it. Then I thought I would try to remove it with 70% isopropyl alcohol:

    This is how the obverse of the first one looked, but I already had removed some of the red spots with a toothpick:

    isn't this horrible!
    This is the reverse:

    and here the flip which it was in:

    After the alcohol procedure:

    My attribution is just a wild guess: maybe Iberian from Tamusia? because I see a T and an M below the animal that could be a boar or a horse.
    On the obverse: Diademed male head to r., dolphin before and behind head

    AE 22, 9.442 g, 11h

    Can someone please help me to identify and attribute this coin?
