This coin was cleaned by a family member. It seems to be copper. Can anyone tell if it is fake or real?

Sorry to say it's a cast copy of a Greek coin.

Hello and welcome, and sorry to be the bearers of bad news.

The "decadrachm" was a large silver coin. It was never struck in copper.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
