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]
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.

Any clue about the year and how could I search more info about it?

If it's real probably before christ! It reads ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΠΕΡΣΕΩΣ (king perseas)

Indeed. So it seems the coin is very old.

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)
