Very nice! Check this out, the coin image seems to match your image and what @trumpman said (king perseas) :)

Tetradrachm of Perseus, minted between 179–172 BC at Pella or Amphipolis. The reverse depicts Zeus' eagle on a thunderbolt, with the legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΕΡΣΕΩΣ ("King Perseus").[2]

Sure I do. I also have a couple of old coins that my father gave to me, but I do not know anything about them.

I like very much old Greek coins and how they were depicted :) Someday I may write about my own coins (even though they are not so rare or of value)

I don't know anything about old coins and I also suck at history, but I find this one interesting and my neighbour was curious if it was kreek hence I thought I should ask a Greek and the only one I know in here is @trumpman. He elucidated the mystery for me.
