unfortunate a forgery

Going through my diobol specimens, because of this unusual diobol shown in this topic http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=115446.0

I was unpleasantly surprised by this forgery with I bought in 2015
This forgery has not the typical flan shape and it has file marking and it’s probably made of two coin with each one good side.
i am sending it back and getting refunded

 

That is very unfortunate.

Was it cast from molds made from 2 coins or were 2 coins joined together?

i do not know that, looks a bit cast like
