Eresos (BC 100-0) AE 16

1st century BC. AE16 - Dichalkon (2.00g, 1h). Gorgoneion facing / [Ð„P]Ð„CI Î©N, winged kerykeion. VF, green patina. Perhaps the second known, and the only in private hands (von Aulock specimen now in British Museum).

Ralli-Photopoulou and Lagos suggest the possibility that the obverse might represent Hermes, given the kerykeion (caduceus) on the reverse.
