    Although it is in the style of an ancient Greek coin, I don't think it's an actual coin. I would assume it's a coin-like replica or fantasy, intended for use as jewellery.

    It is not a coin at all. It is just a decorative item. Being .800 fine silver it was probably made somewhere in Europe. I don't see it as having much value or interest other than the silver value. .800 fine silver would be bought today at a considerable discount from its actual metal value.
