    Looks to be a Parthian Drachm of some sort but with how it looks, im thinking its a fake. Others in this area of coinage will know more.

    I'm thinking Mat knows more than he claims. I agree that from the photo it appears to be a fake.

    thanks for the help. found out some cool info, King Parthamaspates (c. A.D. 116) sellwood type 81 only weights 2.5g most examples i found weight 3.7g so its probably a fake but still worth a look by an expert

    Yes, I was going to say Parthamasphates. He was a roman client king put on the throne.

    However, yours looks like a cast copy.
