    Hi. This possibly ancient coin weighs 37.44 g. I have never acquired such a big coin. Please assist me to better identify. Thanks a lot.

    I read Philip on the obverse, and those would be the three graces on the reverse. Not sure what province, though, but one that used Greek legends.
     
  4. Looks like it's attempting to be a large AE denomination of Philip I? I would say it's a poorly cast fake IMHO. Pock marks and bubbles on the reverse indicate this. Also, it has a thick collar around the edge nearly reminiscent of a modern penny. The weight is very high as well.

    Maybe Bizya? Doesn't matter, it's a total cast fake
