Karshapana: unknown symbol

This coin has not been attributed yet as it has an unknown symbol and I guess it has 6 symbols, while most of the punched mark coins have five symbols . The coin has been partially attributed by Overlord as G/H series VIa or VIb.

The four identified symbols are the six arms, the hill, the sun and a horse. the symbol in front of the face of the horse is not clearly identified. In addition to this a sybol is touching the head of the horse. I guess it is a fish. If so, then this coin has six symbol.
