Your coin looks very concerning to me, but I can't rule out that it's real. EDIT: yeah there's a known counterfeit that your coin looks a lot like. https://history.stackexchange.com/q...iomh-col-hel EDIT 2: AFAICT the PHILPPVS OVBOVS obverse is a fairly certain sign of a counterfeit; it's listed on Wildwinds as such, under BMC 15.
