Looks to be from Megaris, Megara. Like this one: https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=332261

 

Looks like Ajax is right on the money with his attribution!

I'll chime in with a similar coin from Cyzicus:


Greek AE 17
Mysia, Cyzicus, c. 400 BC - 280 BC or later 4.02 g; 17.3 mm
Obv: Head of Kore Soteira, right.
Rev: KYZI, tripod, tunny fish below, plectrum to right.
Refs: BMC 37, 136; Sear Greek 3861; c.f. SNG Cop 62.

 

Voting for megaris! Due to legend similarity and tripod 3 spheres on a top.

 

Greek city of Megara in Megaris
Bronze (18mm, 3.7 gm.), 400-338 BC or 307-243 B.C.
Laureate head of Apollo right.
ME ГA - PEΩN either side of tripod.

 

Cool find!

Nice to find some Greeks.
