    First I apologize for the poor images. I had to take them with the coin inside the holder with my cell phone and in poor light. I am not asking about authenticity (Unless it is a fantasy piece). It is about 1/3 the size of a US dime. I estimate the weight at something like 2 grams from hefting it. The obverse pictures a male figure, possibly a ruler. There is no inscription on the obverse. On the reverse is a prancing horse similar to those commonly found on the coins of Thessaly or Maroneia with possibly some kind of marks below the horse but no other writing that I can discern. I was asked by the shop owner if I could attribute it but I cannot. I would appreciate it if someone could IMG_1031[1623]Greek coin obv..jpg IMG_1033[1627]greek coin rev.jpg direct me to the issuing state or power or ruler if you can. Thanks
