I have went through hundreds of pages of coins looking for a match with no luck. Figured I would give this a try since I really have no idea what I am doing.

Well, the reverse seems to be based on the "slinger" of Aspendos (Aspendus), with a triskeles in the field - although yours is mirrored in relation to those issues. As an example:

The obverse is likely Athena wearing a crested Corinthian helmet.

I suppose it might be legit, but I know of no such issue with this combination. Perhaps it's out there, though. (Although I am doubtful) Your coin looks like lead...is it?

Here's a tourist fake from the fakes board at Forum, with the same general idea and mismatched obverse and reverse.

I agree it doesn't look genuine.
