Need Help ID-ing coin from Mediterranean Sea Area

[jbiciolis91]

Hey Guys

My name is Jared, I am a college student here in Arizona and have recently started to getting in to metal detecting with some friends. I was wondering if any one could help me ID this coin that my dad found while snorkeling in off the coast of Turkey some 40 years ago. He has had it for awhile and we have always been curious to see what it might be. The writing on front seems to resemble the letters KEA on the right side with a smaller PA on the left, my first guess was that this could be greek given the area but I dont know.



Thanks for the Help!

Jared

On first glance it looked a bit funny to me like maybe it is a replica but I did find this one like it

Thanks for the help guys! Yep that Phocaea in Ionia coin is a direct match. Would you know any way on how I could get a value on the coin? Would I need to check with Greek auctions?
