This is a neat little coin. I was completely unfamiliar with it as well until I fortunately found it in a small lot of fractions that I recently bought. It's a nice change from the typical zeus & eagle.

Excellent find! Though I'm not specialized in Greek coinage, it's the first time I see this type.
