Found this today in a batch of world coins.
9.3 grams, 26 m.m.
No clue on ancients etc. (if it even is one)
Images are scans and color of coin in hand is a pewter like tone.
Thanks for any help.

Certainly is! I found about 10 on ebay all going for about £125GBP - they were all better quality but still a very nice find amongst random world coins.
