I suspect it is not ancient.

I am sure that this is a modern "design"

The style doesn't fit in any way

Could it be one of those strange Spanish imitations?

No.  I just see Spanish imitations of Roman republican bronzes every once in a while.  I even have one struck over a Spanish municipal coin.  Those I have seen are varied in style, but I do not remember any that look like this.

I thought it might be an imitation too--though the surfaces and style seem a bit off even for an imitation.
