Hi aidab
It is a provicial coin of Septimius Severus. But it looks suspicious. I think it´s a modern Fake. It´s a cast coin.

Hi,
not Septimius, its a provincial coin of Lucius Verus 161/162 AD (from Gadara in Syria, city of Dekapolis):
Spijkerman 51 (if right arm of Zeus outstretched only and nothing holding), Rosenberger 56
AYT KAICAP Λ AYP OYHPOC
ΠΟΓΑΔAP(WN) IAAΓ KCEY , in pediment EKC (year 225) - Zeus seated left in a temple

And in my opinion yours not a fake, its authentic.
