CONGRATS ON GOOD FIND! Nice old coin -- was it dug in Greece or in another country? Is it made of copper or partially of copper? Thanks for any info you can give. Andi

It was found in Greece!! looks like copper but not sure if its partially! That rusty colour part looks like rust, which i cant get rid off!!
I think i dont need to clean it anyfurther since i identify it...but if its rust im afraid it will ruin it! any ideas how to preserve it?

Thanks everybody for comments!!
