Pegasus coin

[Turbo21]

I found this coin in my in laws yard today.

Pegasus on one side. And not sure about the other. Any ideas?

Thanks

Don't know why the pics are sideways. Not that way on my phone Let's try again

Is that remains of mounting studs on the back? Tony

It sort of looks like a carousel horse, Pegasus is a logo for Mobile Oil.

No mounting studs on the back. It actually looks like another picture on the back. Just corroded

The Pegasus looks like and identical match to this Greek coin

take it to a dealer and have them look at it...something that old we can only really guess at...

It looks to me like either a copper or bronze clad counterfeit winged horse Pegasus ancient coin or a copper or bronze clad piece of jewelry.

It looks like the metal clad is coming away from the base, crinkling and deteriorating.

The style of the Pegasus looks very close to a bronze coin (AE23 from Syracuse in Sicily, 344-336 BCE)

What's strange to me is that the Pegasus stands out yet all the other parts you can hardly see!
