Unusual AE20 - Celtic copy of Corinth or Lokroi?

Surprisingly odd coin out of a Savoca lot!

AE20, 4.47g
Head of Athena right
Pegasus right, no legend



Definitely Corinthian in general scheme; that portrait doesn't look Greek however? Could be a Celtic copy of Corinth or Lokori?

It also has a remarkably smooth patina, but I don't think it's a modern fake?

Appreciate any insights or thoughts!
