Hello again!

I was given that ancient greek coin by my friend recently. I have my guesses as to what it may be, but I'm not sure. 

Also could that be a countermark on the horse, or just damage? 

Any help? Thanks :)

 

20mm and 5.34 grams

Here are some pics:

Probably this one

Oh it’s definitely not that one, the bust is helmeted and the face shape is different

I am more experienced in the field of ancient and chinese coins, south-east asian coins included too!

Can you help me to identify it?

Yes I’m currently finding it right now

I think i see something riding the horse, so i dont think thats the one (could be 100% wrong)

After adjusting the image, I see what you mean, I see a figure riding the horse (possibly holding a spear?)

Probably Seleucid empire

Thanks for all the replies, but they just left me more confused about this coin🤣

Haha, im trying my best to find it especially with how worn the coin is

Yea, I get it, I thought that it might be Larissa, because of the horseman with a Spear and the weight/diameter are simillar

But it has no helmet..

Exactly no helmet and if you take a look closely the shape of the face is different

So I guess it's unidentifiable

Again, it is simillar, but no helmet. I'm starting to think that the coin is so worn that hair looks like a helmet 😆

Could be but i think it is findable. I think someone with more expertise needs to help here.

Let's just hope that someone like that sees this post

With your example, the horse‘s shape looks different to me upon closer inspection

With some help on a different site, I'm 99% sure that it is this coin:
