Help with Tetradrachm

(1/1)

freshmeat:
PLEASE, I NEED HELP FOR THIS COIN
9,2 GR
0,325 OZ
ø29 m/m

Rupert:
I'm not specialized in Hellenism but a) the features of your coin look very "soft" (not just worn), and b) I think 9 gr. is too light, so I'm afraid it might be a modern cast.

Experts' opinions please?
