Hi Salem

Looks very poor in Celatorial quality terms - prehaps Arabian copy?

    The portrait is odd, suggesting an imitation, but metal, faults etc. make the coin look definitely ancient.
     Isn't the "overstriking" in fact just doublestriking, apparent also in the eagle's head and wing?

Nice conversation piece... looks like an old copy - Arabian or Middle East as a guess and not circulated in Egypt as anyone would be able to see it for what it was. Saying that, if its silver then who would care apart from the 'police' knocking at your door asking why you are passing off counterfeits!
