Thank you. You think it’s worth $1700 or so?

 

Yikes, no, sorry. "Price" is a catalog of Greek coins. That catalog's assigned number for the type you have is #1770.
For comparison, here is a somewhat higher quality example of the same type you have that sold at auction for $72.

I found a Silver Coon for you…

 

You accept the coin as genuine, not a casting? The surface of the reverse seems tell-tale though the obverse does not have the same problem. I have a hard time with pictures. So, I'm asking.

Thanks,
Mike M.

 

I made no comment re: its authenticity, one way or the other. My reply was directly geared to the OP query for an ID of the type. Based on the OP images alone I could/would make no definite acceptance or assessment of its genuineness.

p.s.: But I would say the silver coon posted by @Alegandron is legit. ;-)

 

LOL! Well done!
