Coin ID #179

(BC 351-344) Hidrieios - Hemidrachm?

Hidrieios, Satrap, 351-344 BC. AR Hemidrachm? (2.05g). Facing head of Apollo with flowing hair / 8-pointed star (4 thick rays and 4 thin with pellet in center), legend between.

This coin is not only strange as to weight, but the legend. There are only trihemiobols with this rev. design published, and the legend should be Ι−Δ−Ρ−Ι, but this looks like Δ−Ι−Τ. An unpublished denomination? An unknown satrap?
