Picked this coin up at an auction at what I think is a good price. I searched and searched online but couldn't find anything that looked even close. It was sold as a silver medallion mounted in 14kt gold. No idea its history. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Looks like a modern copy.

and

Most likely made specifically to fit in that bezel. Good news is there is a good chance it is real silver.

Try searching "Chalkidian League tetradrachm".

I suspect it is a jeweler's copy of a coin of Olynthos (in the Chalcidian league as Bob L suggested). I once had a similar copy, removed from jewelry. I may actually have it still. I will look.

This is my jeweler's copy. A bit more wear and tear but unfortunately, it seems to be a match. I've had this one for at least 15 years.
