    It's OK (real). The 4th horse's head is simply off the flan-- the piece of metal it was struck on was just small, the die off center, the coin is worn, or some combination of those factors. Look at the horses' rear legs. There are eight of them.

    I see nothing that makes me think the coin is a fake, either ancient (contemporary) fake or modern fake.

    Here are similar coins in the wildwinds database:

    I agree with TIF. No problems with his coin other than what she pointed out.
