<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 2687042, member: 81887"]Looks like a copy of a silver tetradrachm of Macedonia, c. 156-148 BC. The reverse inscription "Makedonon protea" means "First (region) of Macedonia". You can see an original coin here:</p><p><a href="https://www.penn.museum/collections/object/119744" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.penn.museum/collections/object/119744" rel="nofollow">https://www.penn.museum/collections/object/119744</a></p><p>(Click on the photos there to enlarge)</p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely a modern copy, probably originally silvered.
