Does anyone know if this is an authentic ancient Greek coin. It is made of silver, has Alexander the Great (so I was told) on front and it looks like it is from the Ptolemies of Egypt. I can't find an exact match in my Ancient Greek & Roman Coins book. It weighs 9.2 grams. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like it may be a copy.

If it is real the weight won't help, except to know that it should weigh more, because it has been clipped down from the full size.
