    I need your help, please?
    I have this bronze coin (12.6mm., 2.3gm.) that appears to have a Horse and Rider on one side and what could be a 'Modius' flanked by the letters 'P' and 'S' on the other side.
    (Philip II ???)

    Hey, TC. Probably wrong here, but I am reminded of some Azes II (Indo-Scythian) AE and billon issues such as the following. If correct, yours would have to be on a very tight flan. Note the reverse right monogram in the bottom one, which might account for your "P." Anyway, this is just a shot in the dark.

    I like what you see, @Bob L.
    If my Rev. was inverted it would look like this . . .

    Yep. I should have clarified: yours is the top coin in the pic I posted. I inverted your reverse to compare it to the Azes issues.
