This little coin has been of great interest to me and I have been looking at it for ages. It has fired my imagination with all kinds of visions including winged angels and stormy weather.
So I have posted it and used my artistic skills (inherited from Rembrandt) to try and draw one of the visions inspired when gazing at the coin for several hours.
If anyone can crack this one then to me that person will be a numismatic extraordinaire and an artist as worthy as the best

The motif looks similar to Kushana Imitative type, but the weight seems way less. Very interesting coin.
