I really don't like the coin.  It has black deposits that I have seem on cast coins out of Asia.  What does the edge of the coin look like? 

There looks like there are casting pits in the lion skin and bumps on the chin of Hercules. These might be signs of casting.

Since you've posted the coin here, please don't post it anywhere else, there's no need. So far I've deleted duplicates of this one three times.
