Worth keeping?

Can someone identify what is left of this coin?

I’m fairly certain it is a Seleucid coin, with an elephant on the reverse. Whether it is worth keeping is up to you, really.

 

I agree with @Nicholas Molinari, it's up to you to determine if you think it's worth to keep it.
It is by the way a pseudo-autonomous issue from Apameia (Seleukis and Pieria). Example (not mine):

 

It would make a nice pocket piece, if you don't lose it!

 

Given the condition of the metal, I don't think it will last long as a pocket piece.

 

If you don't want it, give it to someone (kid?) who might think anything 2000+ years old is worth keeping.

 

Very interesting Information. Thanks to all.

 

Yeah, I should have included an emoji, it was "tongue-in-cheek" - borrowed it from U.S. moderns. They (I) like to do that.

 

I think it's pretty cool. You can mostly identify it and there are still some details left. I think, if nothing else, it is a keeper until you find an upgrade.

 

I'd keep it having a coin that is over 2,000 years old is just cool, don't ya think?
