This is a Kroton drachma (by the size, they also made a nomos but it was 3x bigger)

This is also a fake, very easy to tell by the strange edging and the fact the obverse and the reverse are the exact same, just an inverse of the other. i would guess these were cast using a single side to create both sides of the coin.

see: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/kroton_bruttium-1.html for how they should look.
