looks like it could be a fake

 

I second that opinon. The fabric looks odd. Can you get a weight on it?

 

ooooo, I'm good! lol I have an eye for fake ancients and spanish coins.

 

Looks like it could be from Rhodes. However, there is something a bit fishy about it...

 

It is without doubt Ainos Thrace. Its a Silver Tetrobol with the Head of Hermes turned slightly to the left, wearing a petasos (a style of hat with a broad, floppy brim) with a beaded border The reverse shows a Goat standing to right with letter AINION top left, trophy symbol to the right of goat.

If real and in that condition it would be worth maybe 300+ USD but I wont comment on authenticity.
