The reverse shown (where is the obverse?) is of Nikomedes II. Epiphanes, but with the spelling faults (A instead of Λ, O instead of Ω ...) obviously not original.

An exceptionally horrible looking modern fake. Could you please upload the obverse, so that we can add it to "Fake ancient coin reports".

The forger had no idea of any Greek: In the word BASILEOS alone, he made SI a single letter, the Lambda became an A, and the omega a simple O. I'd be a much happier collector if all forgeries were that easy to tell.
