to the community. The coin appears to be ancient Greek, but the image is a little too blurry to tell if its real or not. We would also need to see what the other side looks like before it can be IDed.

Hello and welcome.

I'm fairly certain that this is another replica "owl" tetradrachm. The obverse you've shown here looks exactly like the one in this thread with exactly the same shape and design, but to be sure, can you either post a pic of the other side of yours, or compare your coin carefully with the "owl" side of the coin in that other thread, and let us know if it's an exact match?
