Anyone recognize what this coin is...?

I have zero information about this ancient coin, I can't even guess other than
I think is Mediterranean based with the trident spears?, the Oxen look more
asiatic type.
... it is made of a very thick heavy copper, other than that if anybody
has some better information than guesses, let me know...!

Yours isn't worth much. Overcleaned.

 

Looks like someone used electrolysis on it. Really scraped the coin to bone.
Fun type though

Thank you, yes I was given this coin so I figured it was not something expensive,
I had never come in contact with one like it, back in ancient times would this
coin have looked more copper in surface color?? I kinda like it.

Few of us would enjoy seeing our favorite ancient coins looking as they did on the day they were made. We have fallen in love with the patina of the ages and don't appreciate mirror bright brass.

 

Probably not electrolysis, just scrubbed very abrasively, like with a scouring pad. The patina has been removed from all the raised areas and left behind in the crevices.
