    Hello,
    I am trying to identify this coin and I am not getting very far.
    The obverse has a head (nymph ??) right ,
    and the reverse has an Eagle with wings spread angled left but facing right. There appears to be a Thunderbolt in it's claws.
    While most of the ones I have found similar to this have Delta Theta in the above fields, my coin has Delta Alpha there.
    AE8.6mm., 5.37gm.
    Any help is appreciated.

    It's Perseus. Both the hero and last Macedonian king:

    I wondered about Perseus and his 'winged hat', but I convinced myself that what I was seeing was not a wing.
    Thank you @Ryro .
