What does the Horses Head represent in the left field of Zeus on this Alexander III Tetradachm?

I have researched this Tetradachm, unsuccessfully. I was thinking this might represent a Greek City State that was known for its horses; I could not find anything showing just the horses head.

Help, please.

I will try...

 

The photos come up in my Media, but when I select Post Reply, I get an error message.

 

How much does your tet weigh?
Possibly
Alexander III. 336-323 BC. AR Corinth mint. Struck under Demetrios Poliorketes, circa 310-290 BC. Head of Herakles right wearing lion's skin headdress / BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛEΞANΔΡOΥ, Zeus seated left, holding eagle and sceptre; horse head left in left field. Price 689; Müller

 

16.33g, 23mm

Thanks

 

Easy - Alexander III was the original Godfather...

 

Okay, I laugh...

 

..its some kind of control mark....i would go with @Ryro on who's name its minted in....it is a neat coin!

 

Corinthian coins had Pegasus on their reverses. I suppose numismatists attributed these tets to the Corinth mint because of this horse head, interpreted as the head of Pegasus.

 

It's a bit difficult to tell from the photo, but the legs don't appear crossed, nor do I see ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ . Therefore, I'm thinking it may be Price 59, which would place it from Amphipolis.
