    My sister found this a few years ago, it's corroded a bit and it's quite dirty! I love coins and want to start collecting ancient coins. Was wondering if anyone could help me identify it's legitimacy. Haha there's a lot of pictures, but only because some details are incredibly hard to recognize with my crap lighting.
    Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

    Welcome to the forum Zonny! Unfortunately your coin appears to be a cast fake ( one can tell from the line on the edge and the graininess of the surfaces).

    However don't let that keep you from sticking around, we always appreciate new members, even if there just here to look.

    BTW, we ancient collectors consider this to be "modern".:D

    Once again, welcome!;)
