*Appears* to be a tetradrachm of Attica, Athens (see below - lots of fakes and copies of ancient coins exist, old and new!!!)

The helmeted bust side is very off-center.

Possibly Sulla - Marcus (MAP TAM)?

Owl standing on amphora, MAP / TAM on either side
Rev Athena helmeted but largely off the flan

Needs professional authentication before going any further.

The folks in Ancients can contribute much more knowledge about this coin than I can, Greek coins are not my forte. I may be wrong in my attribution.
