I found this coin in my moms closet. I believe it was my grandmothers. There seems to be something written on back from the guys elbow to his foot maybe. Seems to be carrying something and swinging a club. Hopefully someone knows this coin. Thank u

@a747, first welcome to CCF. Second, that looks like a cast replica of an ancient coin. If you look along the edge, you see a seam, right? Finally, I'll recommend to the mods that your thread gets moved over to the ancients section of CCF so that perhaps we can identify the actual Greek coin that this is trying to be.

Sorry to say this is not a genuine coin, it is a modern cast copy that has been silver plated. If you look alone the edge of the piece you will see a cast line. The surface is also a giveaway.

It's a documented cast fake of a stater from Stymphalos. Sorry.
