SILVER GREEK PHOENICIA REPLICA???"

I've had this coin kicking around for a long time. I've always figured it was a fake. It is silver and about 25 mm in diameter. I would appreciate any info on it just so I know for sure what it is.
Thanks, Mike e

Its supposed to be a shekel of Tyre, but yes, its a fake. Strange, the reverse is fairly well done, but the obverse is terrible. I wonder if two people made the dies.

 

I agree. The obverse is very strange. What is the weight @biohc?

 

I't weighs 11.7 grams.

 

I was considering an Arabian imitation, but I'm not aware of any that look like it. I would have to agree it is a replica.

 

Yeah, make fun of Jabba... but he gets the Babes...

 

Weight is a couple grams light. I'd say replica as well.

 

That definitely has the strangest obverse I've ever seen....and that alone says FAKE to me.
