Trying to identify an Ancient Coin...

 

 

    I recently acquired this unusual Bronze Coin with Jugate Portrait on it (Jugate means two heads that overlap).  It may be Ptolemaic, Greek, or Egyptian according to the seller, whom misplaced his documentation.  One side has a prominent Female head with Male head in background.  The other side has a Horse or other animal with a Starburst or Sun above it.  Starbursts or Stars were common in Macedonia under Philip 2 (Father of A3, Alexander the Great).  I tried looking online at NGC or other companies that showcase coins. I could not find  an exact match.
