    AE3 coin heraclea mint.
    What puzzles me is the reverse with some details that resemble scenes from "Alien" movie.
    I would appreciate some clarification from all of you.

    Thanks

    You have the right mint, I can't tell which officina it is (A, B, delta, gamma, or epsilon). It's RIC Heraclea 82. The braids and arm of the horseman, and the horses neck are a little long. It's just how the engraver ended up making it. A neat coin BTW. They can vary it style (drastically sometimes) not just from mint to mint, but also from various officinas and engravers.

    Dane has some similar to yours:
