Charles, I am in no way an expert, but this does not appear to be right to me. It is suppose to be a new style Athens Attica Tet that looks like this one of mine:


I would say your example is a fake.

 

Thanks..
Charles

 

Here are photos depicting mine.



The coin in the OP doesn't strike me as a product of the expert engravers of Athens. Perhaps it was made someplace outside of Athens? I might suggest checking it with a magnet. If it is ancient silver, then I think the magnetic attraction should be nearly zero.

 

The style is wrong in many respects. I do not believe it is ancient.

 

I concur. Not ancient. It is an arm's length fake.

At 31.75 grams it is twice as heavy as a real one.
... but it might be real silver...
(hopefully)
