5.75 g. - 17.70 mm

I see Zeus on the obverse but I don't recognize the subject on the revers. It looks like the head on an animal on the right and some parts look like wings (it could be upside down).

Can you help me to identify this coin?

Thanks a lot.

I think it's Poseidon's trident, making it upside down, and that would likely make it Poseidon on the obverse. It looks like this type was used at Syracuse, but not my area so I can't say much more.
