Idea what coin this is?

Sorry about the quality of the pic, but can anyone ID it?

Is it Silver or Bronze and what size is it?

Nice looking find fella

Looking at the state of that charcoal drawing I'm guessing it's not yours and so there's little chance of a better image or one of the other side? Horse looking back? My money is on a Carthaginian shekel (or Scipio after the final Punic war) what looks to be an F above the horses back could be the fronds from the palm tree that is on most of this type...as:

So, how big is it? how much does it weigh? What about a picture of the other side

I haven't found a type match for it yet - the carthaginian silver coins I've found so far (and the bronzes too) all have a standing horse, although one does have the horse looking backwards.

I also thought of Ephesus (here it is a stag looking backwards), but in those cases, it is only ever the front half of a stag.

I also thought of coins of Larissa, but again all the ones I have found so far are the horse standing (mostly with the head down).

I'm now thinking, that it might be a denomination from Kelenderis, Cilicia,

The type is a goat looking backwards for instance this type:-

It would nicely explain the 'E' we can see by the 'goat's' head.

Good shout Probo it works for me though not sure how you would fit the "N" in but the rest looks spot on, now if we could only get a pic of tother side that would seal it

Sorry I can't provide another pic.

It's a coin a woman said her husband bought as a present that he told her was Roman.

The word goat was mentioned in the text - maybe the symbol of Chinese new year?

[Chef Geoff]

What?.......He bought his wife what he thought was a Roman coin with a goat on as a present and there's me been wasting my money on jewellery, chocolates and flowers

Yes, and the guess about Goat was spot on.

I presume the coin is Greek?

[probono]

Yes, it's greek, around 400BC

Here's a better picture - not quite sure how the other link got in, doh!

The smaller denominations seem to miss off the whole legend just having 'KE' rather than 'KELEND' - although it seems some have 'KE^' (last letter my feeble attempt at a lambda)

I put it in as you had just typed gobbledegook as a link that didn't do anything
