Looks like Lysimachos:

I'll defer judgement as to fake/genuine, but this coin would be a prime target for counterfeiters.
Rest in Peace

Does not appear to be genuine. Can you show photos of the edges?

There are a number of different variation for this type. I purports to be a drachm but at 5.0 grams it's a bit heavy and too light to be a tetradrachm. An edge picture would help tell.

100% fake. The rim around the edge tells all.

It may not be silver, it could be silver plated over copper.
