    It looks like an old Czech lion. But I'm not sure. It maybe a Spanish lion too.

    Is there a Winged half-kneeling figure on the front of the coin? If so I think the coin is greek personally.

    Ancient Greek coins did not use coats-of-arms. This piece is plainly post-16th century. We can't really say much more yet, as the OP inadvertently posted the obverse image twice!

    So coat of arms is only post 16th century? I didn't know that.

    By its fabric you can tell its medieval or later, but I didn't know there is a certain period before which they didn't use a coat of arms.

    It's Spanish, somewhere between Philip III and Carlos II. Need size and obverse picture to determine anything more.

    Of the top of my head, I can't recall when they became common. But I can assure you they never appear on ancient coins.
