Unfortunately, it appears to be a modern cast copy for the tourist trade.

The little sandy lumps on the surface, most clearly on the cheek, are very obvious clues that the 'coin' is a cast copy.
Authentic coins of this type are silver, and weigh around 16 grams.

Unfortunately, tourist copies of this type are far more common that the genuine article.
