before or after Christ?

After.
Substantially after. Perhaps 1850 to 1900+ years after.
A modern cast fantasy fake, perhaps 19th century or early 20th.

I thought it was clear that these are all going to be fakes, most likely from the same workshop. At least so far they all look very similar. The obverse shows the personification of he senate IEPA  CYNKLHTOC, the reverse legend looks like it is supposed to be Olbia. Again, I don't think there's a genuine coin that's being copied and I think that that will probably be the case for all the others as well.

Andreas, I had not read your post (on a different thread altogether) before commenting on this particular piece.
The second opinion (or first, as the specific case may be) doesn't hurt, though.

thanks. it's hard to try to put name to fake or fantasy coins, i think that is even more difficult than with autentic ones

I wonder if it is worth the effort. The maker of these just chose some common designs and some legends that make more or less sense and made 'coins' from them. You have already thought more about them that he did, I think.
