Hi all,
Size: 22-24mm
Weight: 6.1g
Material: Cu or low-grade Billon
Right facing bust on obverse. Looks like soldier with spear and globe possibly standing on something on reverse. I couldn't find it on Zeno.
Will soon see if Sap is busy on a Sunday afternoon!
Thanks

Thanks Tanman. Great work and yes, it is a cool coin, especially now I have an ID. Must admit, has to be the smallest dolphin I've ever seen! Thanks also for the link to the RPC site. I didn't know it existed until now. Will bookmark it for future reference.
