A buddy of mine has a coin they need info on. I'm a little out of my depth on it. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. This coin purports to a tetradrachm of Antoiochos the Great from the Seleucid empire but it is a fantasy piece. The real coin is silver and the legend is not correct. His coins would have a legend of Basileos Antioxoy, not Antioxoy Nikator.
