    Its a small and thin coin and smells of greek from every angle. But I cant seem to identify the exact origin. Any help? Screenshot_20190114-032524.png

    Thin is not usually a greek coin attribute. It actually looks more Roman than Greek. What does the other side look like?

    If it's not silver, then it's likely to be a fake. Hope I'm wrong.

    Perhaps it is a copy (in the wrong metal) of a Bruttium Av Hemidrachm.

    I wonteven be sad if its a fake because I got it for a measly 8$ (yes in my country coins are sold along with rocks and minerals and are not that expensive. we get authentic kushan and mughal coins for sometimes 3$ a peice) but it still is frustrating. really does look like the gold hemidrachm.
