    Hi guys, this reverse looks like a horse( e.g. Carthaginian coin) but i am not sure the obverse bust looks like it.


    13mm
    2.85gr

    any idea what this could be?

    Thanks in advance,

    April

    Horse grazing left (upside down in pic). Perhaps Larissa, Thessaly? Maybe with remnants of an undertype?

    Rogers 294 Larissa, Thessaly AE16. Head of Nymph right / horse grazing left.


    Thessaly - Larissa. 400-344 B.C. AE 16 mm. 4.0 grams. Obv. Head
    of nymph r. Rv. Horse grazing l. Rogers 294.

    Can I assume the smaller size and lighter weight would account for the wear and tear of the coin over the centuries shrinking both diameter and grams?
