    I know that this coin is likely to have Zeus on both obverse and reverse. But it's the first time I encounter a bronze coin with such a style. The right field of reverse has also a lettering which includes a pellet within a square. It weighs 9 g. Could anyone give me the exact attribution? Thanks..

    Charles, you have other coins from this empire. Look through your collection and pictures and notice that some have similarly styled letters on the reverse, with the words reading vertically, sometimes with two lines of writing together in one of the fields. You'll also find that the name of the issuer is written on the reverse.

    The scans are pretty bad but you'll be able to see it more clearly in hand.
