    Recently I bought coin shown below.
    apollo_or_hellios.jpg
    It is made of bronze and is in very bad condition and I cant recognize what it is?
    At the first glance it seems to be Apollo or Helios but I cant tell anything else.
    If anybody could say something more about this coin I would be glad.

    I would say Gorgon or Medusa facing.

    Thanks for a very fast answer... As it seems, even with Apollo or Helios I was not right ;)
