The obverse seems to show a bust of the deified Alexander the Great wearing the horn of Ammon. I don't recognize the pig/boar reverse. I did stumble across the image below in a Google search, showing an illustration of a coin in the Bodleian Collection of Oxford...This makes me wonder if yours is perhaps a token of some sort referencing that coin. But the shape of the flan could of course just be a coincidence. Report this Post to the Staff
simone1978 Valued Member Italy 220 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 08:59 am thank you so much I do not know if it's a modern reproduction, or whether it is an ancient coin, the weight that I put is wrong, the coin weighs 243 grams greetings Simone Report this Post to the Staff

The translation of the words is : I disclose the lands for the citizens,but the inscription on the reverse looks written in Greek.albert Report this Post to the Staff
