This is an ancient silver obol from the Eastern Sogdian city of Samarqand, imitating coins of Antiochus I of the Seleucid Empire. Yours is categorized under “headless stylized archer; bow to the right” type. N#199188

 

I'm the referee for Sogdiana, but this is the first time I've ever seen a Sogdian coin to ID for someone on the forum! Hats off to you haha!
