    Good morning,

    I have this coin. Greece or Phoenicia? Or perhaps the satraps of Persia.

    Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere.
    If anyone has come across something like this
    I would like help in identification
    0.87 g, silver. Pegasus or Hippocampus? stern of galley?

    I will be grateful for your help.

    Robert

    Try searching Lycian coinage as well.

    I already looked and nothing, similar iconography elements and it all

    How do you know it is silver? From its appearance it may be some kind of pot metal amalgam.

    I take it you're assuming it might be a modern forgery? The coin is still in transit to me, but minor damages and porosity as well as the style itself rather indicate authenticity or ancient imitation

    The definition is extremely mushy.
    Could be worn out dies?..
    Definitely has an imitation look to it.
