Looks like Mark Antony legionary coin but I am not sure of authenticity. Maybe a move to the ancients forum would gain the attention it deserves.

@AJ, I'm with David in being very suspicious. I'll recommend to the mods that your thread get moved over to the ancients section for confirmation. In the meanwhile, could you please post a pic of the edge?

I agree. The edge rim doesn't look right along with how what little wear there is is even on the whole coin.

Yup, tourist copy. The lettering is in the wrong style, and they rarely have the whole die impression if they show any wear at all.
