Shape   Round

Obverse (head): man or a demon face??? / LOKY???
Reverse (back): 2 dolphins and ear of wheat

Hi, I've got this coin or token, I don't now, but I think it's token because it's made of Iron (alloy).

I think it is a reproduction of currency or Etruscan grace.. from Paustum(SA) Italy (Greek former municipality, see Poseidon - Greece).
I do not know if the figure represented is a man or a demon face.
I do not understand the word .. LOXY or COXY or LOKY

the dating

The objects of the kit, in particular the Attic lekythos, together with the stylistic considerations which will be discussed further, have allowed a clear dating to the decade between 480 and 470 BC. The artifact is located then the golden era of art pestana, in a political and social context that he had seen, less than twenty years ago, the building of the temple of Athena (improperly called Ceres) and would lead, in the period two or three decades, the rise of the most accomplished example of pestana, the famous temple of Neptune said

Thanks in advance for your help in cataloging this artefact.

Hi Simoneo

On the obverse, that is a forepart of an androcephalous bull like this: www.cgb.fr/sicile-gela-tetradrachme,bgr_350314,a.html

In my opinion, the real coin is Etruscan.
bonjour

Very ugly forgery
