Argos Coin

This one is apparently from Greece during the time of Argos. I will provide a weight later but it is rather small. Any information is appreciated. I looked on wild winds and did not find a match.

Try Alexander the great or his descendants.

 

Still yet to find anything. This was in a flip that said Argos 400 - 500 BC. The flips have been accurate for the most part. I'll keep looking.

The lettering above the horse should identify the issuing authority. Look for Philip in the Greek alphabet. It's probably Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, from Macedon.

 

I'll definitely need to translate to see which on it is. Alexander vs Phillip.
Thanks!

If it's Philip it would look something like ΦIΛΛIPOY

 

No idea... here's a few more photos.

Looks like there's an "A" under the horse. Not sure what that means.

It could be Philip II, but the lettering looks too distorted to yield a positive ID. Also, the color seems off. It looks more like orichalcum than bronze. I don't know if that is significant or not. Afraid I can't be of much more help. Anyone else?
