Hello,

This was found in the country of Georgia. I have no experience in identifying coins- any thoughts on this one?

Thanks!

It seems to be a fake of a tetradrachm of the Baktrian ruler Demetrios I  :(. The originals are made of silver:

Thank you- I had been looking at pictures but couldn't find a match. This is helpful even if our coin isn't genuine :)
