Is this supposed to be a Greek protocoin?

Hello friends,
Happy Monday!
Well, it is hard to find any reference for this specimen that I bought at an antique store for only a few bucks.
The owner said that it is a very early type of Greek monetary type, but not much else. He gave it to me as a "have fun" search project, but so far no luck.
It looks live it is made of silver and it is bulkier than the typical obol, but you can't tell much from the punch at the bottom.

Any clues?

Thank you!

Looks like a blob of molten solder to me
Just saying.

 

Why do you do this? Just asking!

 

I agree. Might be silver, but looks like a drop of molten metal.

 

And you stated it perfectly. Ty! A fine example to a new member.

 

I agree. The real Lydian coins that possibly could be confused for this were electrum and had striations on the obverse and a punch on the reverse. I see no recognizable punch, nor striations. I think its just wishful thinking on the antique store's part.

 

Still puzzled by that kind of punch below!

 

Thanks, guys!
Even if it is just a molten drop of metal, I greatly appreciate your feedback

 

The bottom of melted and hardened glass or metal often looks like that, I think.
