    My research shows this coin has Alexander the great and possibly Zeus on the other side.
    It was found in my family's garden in Konya Turkey. Can anyone give me more info about the coin.

    The pictures are rather blurred but I suspect it is a cast copy of something.

    Can you take better pictures? The coin's reverse has a legend which will identify the coin. However, as afantiques said, it doesn't look authentic although it may just be overcleaned.

    Your coin-photos are a bit blurry (try taking a couple of better photos ... oh, and give us the weight of that coin, if possible)

    I don't have any scales but it's heavy and solid, my family were digging foundations for a house when it was found,

    The new images make me think, like TIF, that it's fake.
