Hallo Franz,
vielen Dank, aber ja, diese Münze kannte ich schon, es ist nämlich exakt dieselbe, nur besser fotographiert als im LHS-Katalog.
Mittlerweile hat Richard Ashton mir auch geantwortet:

(I) agree with Alan Walker that the coin is more likely to belong to Asia Minor than to Argos. I say this not because I have seen any examples in Turkish museums (Fethiye, Afyon and Bolvadin museums are the only ones in which I have catalogued), but because (i) I have noticed such coins or similar on Ebay in accompaniment with other bronzes from north-west Asia Minor; (ii) the crown on the female head is similar to that on bronzes of Zeleia; and (iii) the head of a wolf (or is it a bear?) is similar to the lion-head on the lion-head/corn-grain bronzes of the Thracian Chersonese, and to the head of a wolf or dog on the obverse of a coin in my own collection, which has as reverse type a monogram (in an olive-wreath) easily resolvable as LY(simacheia). Not of course conclusive, but cumulatively suggestive.
So bleibt also eine gewisse Unsicherheit, mit der wir leben müssen...
