    Hello people. This coin was collected in 80s in caucasus and it is ancient greek coin Bruttium depicting infant Heracules and Apollo. This one looks slightly different than the ones I found in internet and I am not sure about the material (definitely not a high karat gold). It weights 8.5 grams and is 23mm wide. What do you think about its authenticity?

    A fake. Not even close to genuine. The metal is not right.

    Nice obverse portrait but I have never seen anything like it before. The little counterstamped symbol below Hercules on the reverse also looks atypical.
