Sorry, this coin is far to corroded to be identified, although Bob might be able to figure it out.
It's a big old guy, that may help some.
It's an interesting example of what a couple of thousand years can do to a coin...or very harsh cleaning.
Really makes one appreciated coins that are in good condition that have made it through the journey.

Hello Andi10
If you flip your reverse image over, it looks like it could Phoenician.
Didn't see an exact match but here are two from ACsearch that are similar.
Check out the AE coins from Tyrus or Tyre.
Seleukid Kings
Demitrios I Soter

To me it looks like the coin was broken and maybe it was a small flan as well. Therefore the legend is not visible.
What appears to be letters are actually the horses legs.
What is under the horse that looks like a large X I don't know, maybe something with the encrustation.
Great post Lgandrews.

Very nice write up Paul. What a great trip you had!
Congrats on the coin. I had my eye on that one at one time.
I was able to get this one a while back. It proved to be very hard to photograph because of the grainy surface, the legend doesn't show up very well.
Not sure of the ID, but I think it's ACIP 1093 C.O.G.C.M.A. with Q below.

Thanks. Yes 17mm 4.1g
Both the coins your considering are great choices.
The type from Samnium I think would be a perfect fit. I've always wanted one of those.
I have that type from Malaka also, but not in great condition.
Not to change the subject, but do you collect Iberian coins?
I have quite a few.

Your set is looking great,Paul. Looking forward to the next ones.
I have picked one of the Malaga types for Hephaistos in my set, but I will eventually replace it because of the reverse.
I've been tempted to add silver to the mix for Hera and Aphrodite, but so far I'm being stubborn and holding out for bronze.
There are a few.
