Thank You in Advance.
I know that CS has wealth of very knowledgeable bloggers and just maybe one of the 'experts' could help me in identifying this coin?
Don't even know if its a coin or just a token.

So you have it sorted out. Now one would wonder about the coin. Tell us about it.
The term Greco-Persian Wars is thought to be less biased against the Persians than the more common name "Persian Wars," but most of our information about the wars comes from the winners, the Greek side. Greek historian Peter Green characterizes it as a David and Goliath struggle with David holding out for political and intellectual liberty against the monolithic theocratic Persian war machine.
Be aware of imitations.
Proposed causes of Alexander's death included alcoholic liver disease and strychnine poisoning, but little data support either version. According to the University of Maryland School of Medicine report of 1998, Alexander probably died of typhoid fever which, along with malaria, was common in ancient Babylon.
Ur right about the imitations.
A very interesting coin indeed.
Worth having just because of the history behind it
