    I have this Greek coin that has an attribution that I am uncertain about. It is . . .
    THRACE, Koinoi (Kainon?) Mostis. AE13 mm., 2.4 gm.
    Obv: Bearded male head (Zeus?) right, uncertain object to left,
    Rev: 'BM' ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΟΣΤΙΔΟΣ Bow and Quiver
    G&M (Gorny & Mosch?) 225/1313
    I am 'uncertain' because the depiction of Zeus is different, and I believe that I can also see a trident on the reverse.

    Nothing about my coin resembles this listing for "Gorny & Mosch 225/1313", that I found on Acsearch.

    From your images, I cannot be certain that is a trident on the reverse. The closest I can come to your coin is Paunov 4:

    Mostis, King of Thrace, AE17, ca 126-86 BC. 2.94 g. Laureate head of Zeus or Herakles right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ MOΣTIΔOΣ, bow in bow case. Paunov 4; Moushmov (Rois Thraces) 172; Jurukova 142; Berlin 18214369.

    @Bing
    Thank-you, Bing, for finding those for me. I will check your references out. It seems to me that these coins have large 'variations' with similar 'references'.
