If authentic, it appears to be a Sabaean (Arabian) imitation of an Athens intermediate style tet, c. 3rd century BC.

The coin appears genuine IMO, though I would like to see wht the edge looks like. It is a drachm, not a tetradrachm.

I cropped your images a bit.

That was my first thought too... its not heavy enough for a tetradrachm though the design is the same... looks like a drachm then but weighs a little bit on the heavy side...

The lightening bolt on the cheek is unusual...so I would pressume that it is not Attica Athens and Bob is probably right (if in doubt trust Bob)
