Hi everyone, I just spotted this coin though an online dealer. And I am intrigued by this sand-patina bronze coin. While it is unidentified, I am also uncertain as to its authenticity. It is 28mm and 10.14 grams. What do you think?

Looks authentic to me. The red sand patinas like this are often called 'Syrian red' or 'Syrian patina', though they are not exclusive to Syria.

The scene on the reverse is quite interesting - almost an LRB fallen horseman sort of thing.
