I think I have seen this before, but on a much small piece or ceramic.  In my opinion, modern tourist fake.

I agree, its appearance suggests modern fake. The countermark on the reverse shows signs of tooling and has minute cut marks around the outer edge, also the figures head shows similar marks.

Not convinced its genuine.

I agree with the comments above. Looks modern. Close undisputed ancient parallels needed to convince me otherwise.
