    Its hard to say from the images, but here is an authentic example of your coin. What is the weight and measurement?

    It's within range and from what I can see, it looks authentic, but I'm by far no expert. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope someone with more knowledge replies.

    Here are my Kugelwangels from the Celts of the Danube Region. They are imitating Philip II Makedonwn. Yours looks and is sized very similar to mine, especially my first pic...
