Hey everyone,

I bought this coin as part of a lot of other ancients, and besides my thought that the language might be Hebrew, I know nothing else about this, however I'm questioning its authenticity because I know Ancient Hebrew coins are heavily counterfeited and this one looks too "perfect". The weight is 4.67 grams and the diameter is 19mm. Any help would be appreciated!

Not a coin but some modern token or trinket. Ancient Judaean coins were inscribed in Aramaic. Your coin is copying the last on this page:

Too bad it's not genuine.
