I was trying to figure out whether this is real or a replica. Is it ancient? Thanks for any direction or websites that I can look at.

    It is a bad cast copy of a coin issued under Tiberias. In fact I myself have some somewhere.

    There are a ton of fake ancient Jewish coins floating around. Some are sold to Holy Land tourists by the Arab population, often they come with a great story (and sometimes even a nice little tour) that makes the price of the (fake) coin a bargain.
