I have had this coin for 20+ years and always assumed it was a fake. But, I would like the opinion of experts. Coin is 2.5cm diameter and 15 grams. Welcome opinions.

Sorry, it's a fake.
Looks like a cast copy.
I believe it is a modern fake.

The Wikipedia page for TIgranes III of Armenia depicts a genuine example of one of these coins. This one, unfortuantely, is indeed not genuine, as noted by others above.
And as noted by others above, there is a World and Ancient Coins subforum, for posting coins like this.
