Thanks for all the responses again! I think I might let someone check it out 🙂 If I get more information on it I'll definitely update the thread.

Wow, insane quality on this example!!

Wow thanks for all the helpful reactions. 😀 I'm going to tag the people who asked for edge pictures here @sand @ambr0zie @Deinomenid @zadie. Hopefully these are clear enough. I also added some better macro pictures of the faces. I just weighed it with a cheap kitchen scale and it registered 16 grams, including the ring. The diameter is about 25-26 mm (bit difficult to see with a camera, but it's really 25 mm 😅). Both are more or less the same as is written here https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=99640. Are Syracusan coins faked a lot? Or just Greek coins in general? Thanks for all your guys' help 🙂

Hey everyone, first post here. I wanted to share a coin I found in a french street market for 1 euro. Sadly it's badly damaged and was probably used as a pendant. I don't even know if it's real or fake... Some explanation about the coin I found online: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=99640 However since finding it I can't stop reading about ancient coins so I think I found a new hobby I wouldn't ever want to sell it because I found it myself and it's worth more to me than it's monetary value. Discussion question: do coins with this amount of damage even have any monetary value to you? Or is it mostly sentimental value for the finder? Have a nice day.
