    Here is a Drachm (4.1 g, 15 mm) I have had for a long time, but have been unable to identify. I tried http://numismatics.org/pella/ and other online resources but could not find a match for the symbol on the reverse.

    Posting in case anyone here has an idea.

    It looks to me like either a sword 1349 or a club 1347. I lean sword because I think I see a cross guard. Do you see something more or different?

    Thanks. There is a flatter part, almost like another bird, just under the hand that I am unable to match with the sword/club symbols.

    I see this as well - it is a bit ambiguous. I think this could just be wear and the top of the sword:

    Thanks again. I looked at some additional examples of Price 1349 on acsearch and think you have solved it. The one from a 2018 CNG auction seems very similar, if not die-identical.
