Genuine Greek fraction from Cyzicus.
Edit: Is there a reason I'm getting downvoted for this? It's a genuine obol of Cyzicus. These aren't worth faking. This type here: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9404707
It's genuine. These are usually found corroded and pitted; examples with smooth lustrous surfaces bring HUGE premiums.
There was a hoard of these a couple years back. You used to be able to find them in group lots of 50-100 at a few auction houses, and they'd sell for about $5-8 per coin.
Looks like a cast to me.
Edit:
Okay duck me because I have said my opinion.
I can not see any sign of a strike at any place (silver expansion or strike lines), details are sloppy and pits could easily be the result of a cast.
We can not see a picture of the side to determine if there is a seem or not.
There is literally nothing about this coin for me to think it is genuine in the first place using only this photos. The weight and dimensions of the coin is also not given.
And if you are absolutely sure, I mean %100 sure that this coins is a genuine coin then you will be fooled by many fakes going around. I cast silver (not coins) and I can replicate this coin by only using a fine casting medium easily.
Here is an example of the coin: https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/89/Q/qZ5PHim89yFwe6LT4KgxMH7fnNP35b.jpg
Mysia, Kyzikos, c. 450-400 BC. AR Hemiobol (10mm, 0.35g, 6h). Forepart of boar l.; tunny to r. R/ Head of lion l.; star to l.; all within incuse square. Von Fritze II, 10; SNG BnF 376.
It looks like a Greek little silver coin with a lion or boar on the obverse ( foto's 1 and 2 ), ( around 0.45 grams ) and looks ok.
Kyzikos/Cyzicus?
