Hi Kindly help ID this Greek coin

Coin in a chain key ring, despicting: possibly Goddess Dimitra, on the other hand depicting possibly the ''Keras ( horn ) of Amaltheia". Diameter: 30 mm ( with the ring ), weight; 37 gr.
Unfortunately a lot of wear after many years of use.
I have no idea if it is original or copy

thanks for any help

My gut feeling is that this is not a coin but some sort of charm. To me, the horn looks more like two hands clasped together. Others will know more though.

It depicts Arsinoe II, wife of Ptolemy II. The reverse shows a double cornucopiae.

Looks like base metal. Is it? These (the legit ones) were minted in precious metal, silver and gold, exclusively, I believe. (Although I am no expert at Ptolemaic coinage)

Hi Many thanks guys. pff for years I thought it was Goddess Dimitra. Ok, yes obviously Arsinoe the coin is similar to that one here, in Cyprus

The material is silver, it is common in Greece to find these in key chains in jewellery stores and some are believed to be orininals.

For this particular one I guess it is a copy.
again thanks for your answers
