I think I bought a fake Syracuse Dekadrachm on ebay, please help to idenify

It was simply listed as an antique medieval coin on ebay. I just checked and the seller is not on the notorious fake seller list.

It measures 35-36mm across. Thanks for any help.

Yes you did buy a fake, looks like a cast, but not a cast of authentic dies. Just a poorly made fake from modern dies.
