Hi Folks-

I received this coin from my Aunt back in the mid 1970's. I've never checked into where it's from, it's worth, etc.

If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Timm

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Sorry to say it looks like a fantasy piece, made to look like an ancient coin.

Specifically, it's a copy (in copper) of a silver tetradrachm of the Second Jewish Revolt, also known as the Bar Kochba Revolt, 132-135 AD. Here's what a genuine example looks like (example from Wildwinds).
