<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4827390, member: 56859"]Hard to say given the state of the reverse, but the obverse is probably Zeus. If the weight of 1.35 grams is somewhat accurate (maybe off on the heavy side), perhaps the denomination is a trihemiobol. Looking through ACseach for "Zeus trihemiobol" there are a couple of possibilities. Maybe with the coin in hand you can make out more details of the reverse. Can you discern anything on the reverse that looks like these coins from Thessaly? The style of Zeus looks similiar.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/126/4642/4682275.m.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thessaly.
