I am not an expert on those coins, but the metal texture looks a bit off. I suspect this coin might be a modern forgery, unfortunately.

Exactly. Imitates a Hendin 1341 Pontius Pilate prutah. Tourist stuff.

I've gotta say the obverse really looks like a toilet.

That was my first thought to moxking. Thought maybe it was an Ancient Greek toilet token.
