The coin looks more like Roman Republic than Greek. Your picture are a bit too small for me. Can you take larger ones? I'm going to move this thread over to the Ancient coin section for more help.

Hi echizento,

Thanks for quick replay and thanks for opinion. Maximum picture size is 200k so this one is close to limit :)

When dealing with a coin such as this, it is always prudent to assume it is fake, and look for evidence to the contrary. Yours does appear to be genuine from my amateur opinion.
