I need to identify

I need to identify those coins, I don't know which era in Egypt

[Enodia]

Your coin depicts Alexander the Great as Herkles, and the reverse is Zeus enthroned. These were minted all over the ancient world for a period of nearly 300 years.
You need to provide the size and weight, as well as a better picture to get a more specific attribution or to verify authenticity.

Is it silver?

The original tetradrachms are made of silver. Unfortunately your coin looks like a modern cast replica. These were often made from cheaper white metals.


For comparison, a real example with similar features (uncrossed legs and M below the chair):

Compare the overall sharpness, the sharpness of details in areas without much wear and the surfaces.
