    Hey everyone, so I got this small greek coin, about the size on an Onkia. I am having trouble finding any sort of identification. The obverse I do see a face within a circle, not sure who's face but it is a face.

    UKG3.jpg You can see here the nose is pointing to the right, eye and ear appear to be visible as well.

    Now the reverse I really have no idea what is going on. This is the best I can really clean it up at the moment, not sure if I see a vase, legs, animal of some sort or some squiggly deity. UKG1.jpg

    If anyone has any idea what I might be looking at please lmk! Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated!

    The reverse is upside down. It's the headdress of Isis.

    What's the diameter and weight? There is a considerable variety of weight and diameter among coins of a denomination called "onkia".
