The horse styling and sharp strike got me. The coin is well centered for the type with a bit of a "mushy" Taras face which seems common for these.

CALABRIA. TARENTUM. Ca. 280 BC. Silver didrachm (nomos). 21mm, 7.86 gr. Obv. Nude horserider right, with armed raised, AP monogram above. Rev. TAPAÓ, Taras on dolphin left, holding branch, ZOP below. Vlasto 669 corr. (letters on rev.); HN Italy 961. NGC MS 4/5, 4/5, Fine Style.
