My grandfather passed down a few foreign coins to me. I have been collecting American, Mexican and Canadian coins for years now, but I have never tried to collect ancient/foreign coins. Here is a coin that I though was cool, I do not know if it is a replica/genuine or what it is full stop.
Let me first preface this by saying I collect Roman not Greek coins, so what I have to say should be taken with a grain of salt.
I believe your coin, if real, may be a Tetradrachm of Antiochus IV. Reverse showing the Greek inscription ''ΣΙΛΕΩΣ 'ΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΘΕΟΥ ΕΠΙΦ'ΝΟΥ ΝΙΚ- ΦΟΡΟΥ ("Basileus Antiochus, God Manifest, Bearer of Victory"). Some of these coins have a seated figure while others a standing figure. Although your photo is sideways, the figure is standing.
This is the extent of my knowledge and I must reiterate that I know next to nothing about Greek coins. I only translated what I believe to be the inscription. Hopefully, a Greek coin expert will chime in and give you better and more informative information. Good luck
