    Just got a worn coin on the cheap and was curious if anyone could help me in IDing it.

    All the "info" I got from the seller:

    Ancient Provincial / Greek AE16 uncertain Asia minor mint
    Female bust / trophy or cult statue

    I really am only guessing, but the first coin puts me in the mind of coins from Lydia.

    It's possible, but I really can't see much detail on the reverse. Perhaps you can see more in-hand.
