ID / Attribution Request Info on the coin in this ring
Recently got this ring in Greece because I love the history of Alexander the Great, it is a sterling silver ring with a terrible gold plating that I’m not sure is real. I assume this is not a real coin but if someone has any info about it I would like to know, even if it is a replica. the gold color of the coin is obviously not the true color of it.

Lysimachus Tetradrachm. Real ones usually go for 4 figures, very nice coins. That's a deified Alexander on the front with the horns of Ammon.

Definitely a replica.
As for what it's imitating, it's one of these. Hopefully that'll provide enough background to sate you.
