    I know nothing about this coin or what type it may be imitating. However, nobody has responded yet, so take what I say for what it is… an opinion.

    This coin strikes me as a modern fantasy coin. It looks like a mashup of different timeframes and cultures. And the style doesn’t look ancient to me. I don’t know for certain but I’d bet I’m right.

    Appears to be a hammered silver coin/token. I wouldn't venture a guess on exactly what it is. Maybe take it to a jeweler with an XRF analyzer to see if it is silver.

    Hopefully, some other member here may have information to share.

    this is a very poor attempt at copying a coin from Lucania, Metapontion
