    I hope you don't mind, but I lightened you images so that I (and others) can see it better in order to make any judgement.

    As far as authenticity, I can see nothing blatantly off other than the surface coloring on the obverse. Perhaps that is just a result of the lighting?

    With the usual caveats (poor quality images, and my non-expert status) the obverse looks passable but the reverse style does not. In particular, look at the owl's face (eyes and beak) and lower part of the body. Can anyone find any authentic examples which look like this? I haven't found any. Could it be imitative or an ancient forgery? I don't know. Maybe?

    @google1, tell us how and where you acquired this coin. Also, what is the weight?
