The ancient coin pictures above are present on Romanian coins through the kind permission of Mr. GLV. This coin is not described in Moushmov catalog or in AMNG I (AMNG = Die antiken Münzen Nord-Griechenlands, B. Pick, 1898).

Most probably this coin was struck in the 4th-3rd century BC. The identification of the obverse head with Apollo does not seem to be very certain - the head looks very feminine.
