I really haven't got a clue what this is. It's about 50mm in diameter.

looks more like a token than a coin?

Yeah I tried to clean most of the coral off of it because you could'nt even tell what it was exactly. I haven't the slightest clue as to what it's made out of yet. Maybe brass... I dunno?

This resembles an ancient Greek type coin from Thessaly, but I think it's a reproduction made to look old.

50mm? No-one made ancient bronze or brass coins that huge.

It's also too big to be usable as a token. I'd guess it's some kind of art medal.

Yes it's about 2 1/4 inches in diameter. The face seems to be wearing a headdress. Salt water has really taken a toll on the medal. I'll try and take some better photos. Art medal? I'll try researching that:)
