Hello everybody : I just found in a bag a lot of many old coins ,each one of them really very original , less this one that I am not sure . It has a diameter of 21 mm and it corresponds more or less with a Siracuse Tetradachma ( Sicilia ) .Also appears as a bronze coin .I will appreciate all of your opinions .Best !

I think it is a tourist copy. Looks too round .Pictures are a little blurred to see details clearly but looks cast.

Of course it is a copy...an authentic coin of this type is a thing of beauty but this is a travesty-- a horrible thing that bears no connection to the original type. No need for debate...it should be consigned to the dust bin of history so it offends no more! Caveat...this is me after two glasses of Jim Beam...less tolerant and more blunt for this hobby which reflects my endless fascination and continual education for the best hobby ever.
