Coin appears to be brass ~2 inches in diameter and very heavy. I am having no luck online so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated!

My guess is a counterfeit coin trying to appear as ancient Greek.

Thank you for the welcomes and ideas! Counterfeit is the sincerest form of flattery I guess.

@Amalthea, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that this piece is cast and was made relatively recently. However, I unfortunately don't know what coin it is imitating.
