Hey guys! I got this hebrew coin from my cousin, and I would really like to know if it's fake or not. I've read an old post here where the coin was a fake, but it also looked too good, and it is not identical to mine.... I hope you can help :)
Also, when are where is it from? I basicly know nothing about it.

It's a bit difficult to say from your picture, if you can take a clearer one it would help. My first impression however is that it doesn't look right to me.

It purports to be a Judaean coin from the period of the Bar Kochba Revolt (early 2nd century AD). Sorry to say it looks like a modern cast copy.

You've turned it on its side. Your coin should look like this:

Perhaps you can see for yourself why we say it is a copy.
