Please post a picture of both sides of the complete coin.
Hard to tell anything with a partial photo of one side.

It's a cast bronze copy of a silver decadrachm.

It's usually impossible to tell the age of a replica ancient coin, especially since the replica-makers usually make some attempt to make the replica "look old" by artificially darkening and corroding it. Unless a fake ancient coin is from a well-documented fake-maker, the origin will likely remain unknown.

Many of these "wrong metal" replicas originate as "tourist copies" from the countries in the southern and eastern Mediterranean (from Italy right around through Greece, Turkey, Syria, Israel and Egypt), where collecting genuine ancient coins is illegal or highly restricted, but selling fake ancient coins to tourists is perfectly fine. If you went on a cruise of the Greek Islands and Turkey, just about every tourist spot you visited would have a bunch of sellers, selling fake artifacts like these coins.
