Could use some help identifying presumably greek coin with anchor

Hello everybody, I finally got back to looking at some of my collection today and found this little coin. At first I thought it to be a tree of some sorts and then after doing some research realized it was an anchor and I therefor think it's Greek and of Apollonia Pontika. I just couldn't seem to find one which the anchor has dots or eyes underneath it as mine does. I am also considering it could be a fake, however seems unlikely.  I also hope you can discern how small it is based on the staples in the pictures, as I am unable to weigh the coin. I appreciate any information I can get, Thanks so much -Jake.

You actually could weigh it. Take a similar flip and stick three staples in it. Weigh that. Weigh the coin/flip, then subtract the first weight as a tare. Measuring the coin is even easier, though a bit imprecise.
