Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6027 Posts	Posted 11/11/2016 2:50 pm Looks like a drachm (?) of the Greek kingdom of Seleucia in the middle east. Would be about 300-100 BC. Don't recognize the portrait, but the reverse is Apollo standing, resting shoulder on tripod altar and inspecting arrow. Legend is Greek: BASILEWS (king) and I can't read the name on the other side. It does look like a cast fake. Sometimes people bury fakes in archaeological sites just to be mean.

Spence Moderator United States 18202 Posts	Posted 11/11/2016 6:56 pm @conrad, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with Finn on his assessment. The details should either be much more flat from wear or else more sharp if the coin was struck between dies. Instead, it looks "mushy". That, and the bubbles on the surface are diagnostic for casting as the method of manufacture.
