I picked this up in a tray of coins, but am very unfamiliar with ancients. I usually have luck with image searches, but I can't find this particular coin and I can't make out the legend. It has a different texture (for lack of a better word) than other ancients I've seen.

It weighs 2.8 grams and is 18mm diameter.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm no expert, but did you consider the possibility of it being a cast counterfeit?

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but yes, absolutely. That is why I asked about authenticating in the topic, and what I was intimating with the coin having a different texture. I really don't have experience with ancients, but I picked it up for $5, so I figured, why not?
