I'm told this is an issue of Philip II, father of Alexander III (the Great).

Portrait of Apollo on the obverse? Horseman reverse is a terribly common motif encountered across a wide spectrum of Greek coins.

What do you think?

Dimensions are 18.5 by 16 mm, weight comes in at a hefty 7.34 grams.

You're quite right.

I have three of these chunky little fellas. They feel really substantial in the hand, don't they.
