    Hi Graham, welcome to CoinTalk Ancients.

    I gather from your same post elsewhere on CoinTalk that you wish to know if your coin is authentic?

    It appears to be a cast of a cast of a cast of cast of a Paduan reproduction.

    So no... not authentic.

    Your coin (cropped, oriented, joined, and displayed in full for easier viewing):

    Here's and example of a cast of a Paduan reproduction from Forum Ancient Coin's gallery of fake ancient coins:

    Sorry :(.

    Here's an example of the real deal. This particular coin belongs to CoinTalk member @IdesOfMarch01:

    Your fake coin has little value as a collectible. Perhaps someone would want it as an example of a bad fake but I doubt it would bring more than a few dollars.

    Some forgeries do acquire value as collectibles. Paduan reproductions of ancient coins, for instance, are collectible (but not ancient).
