not so sure if it is OK.... :icon_scratch:
 

The design is common and similar coins, if real, are popular. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left. Look for similar ones to compare with yours: Left foot forward (rarer), the togo partially obscuring the seat (rarer) and the horizontal row of 'dots' that support the chair's legs.
Don.......
 

i am not neither an expert but on the first photo showing the edge of the coin i can see a slight line running allong the edge possibly form a modern coin counterfeiting mold but who knows :dontknow:
