echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 6:43 pm to the community Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but no the coin isn't real. The coin purports to be tetradrachm of Antimachos of the Baktrian kingdom. The real coins are silver and are made much better than yours which is cast. Report this Post to the Staff
