I would like to see the whole coin but the surface worries me it appears to be a Roman Provincial Tetradrachm of the 3rd century and probably Antioch, Syria mint. I suspect its a cast reproduction due the mushy details and bubbly looking surface. It is possible it is over cleaned but I suspect the coin was ment to imitate the latter and should be silver. I too encourage the person to join. Tell'em WELCOME!

If the coin is real it looks like it's been chemically cleaned
