This coin has appeared to be made into a necklace? Unsure if this is greek or even if it is fake? Thanks!

The coin shows the shield and the name of the City of Gdansk (Danzig)/ Moneta Civitas Gedanensis.

On the other side the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa is depicted. That dates the coin 1615.
It could be (a copy of) a ducate.


I can't help you to determine if it's real or fake. For sure it has been damaged a lot, being turned into a necklace.

It doesn not look gold, or even yellowish in the pictures. I'm thinking it is (or was, before being mutilated) a silver orte, like this one.
