    This coin is 26 mm and 8 grams. I used an XRF which showed 96% silver~1% iron~1% zinc. It may be obviously fake, and if so, I will mark it fake and put in my fake collection. If you believe it is real by what you see, I will send it to a TPG for grading. Your opinion will be helpful. If you feel this is a waste of time, please let me know.

    Not Heliokles but Apollodotus II, and i would judge it as fake.

    On the bright side silver melt value is pretty high these days.

    Details are mushy... I think it's likely a fake as well.
