Appears to be a cast tourist fake that seems to combine, in very poor style, the obverse Dionysos of a 6th century BC Naxos silver issue with, perhaps the reverse bull of a Sybaris nomos from the same period.

Sorry.

Hello and welcome.

Sorry to be another bearer of bad news, but I have to agree with the previous posts: it's not a genuine ancient coin.
