Ah. That's better. 
It does indeed appear to be ancient Greek. Specifically, it appears to be a tetradrachm of Lysimachus, who was one of the succssors of Alexander the Great and ruled the territories of Asia Minor (western Turkey), Thrace and Macedonia from 306 to 281 BC.
I suspect this one is a reproduction, mainly because the colour looks very coppery in places; this coin is supposed to be silver.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
