The left hand side reads RODION, which would indicte a drachm from Rhodes, whose symbology was a Rose.... The other side has a head of Helios facing slightly right.

I cannot say whether it is original or not.

As a tetradrachm it should be heavier and I think it is probably not real. See example below from known fake:

It looks silver plating over another metal. Photos are too small to see details.
