I believe this must be a forgery, but is it of any value? It's been in our family for many years - I remember taking it to school over 40 years ago. We've been told it shows the head of Persephone and on the reverse a charioteer driving a quadriga with a winged figure of Victory flying above chariot. Any info would be appreciated.

I also can't identify the Chinese coins well but as it appears here are looks Chinese coins. I am not sure about it but I will try to find out some more information about it. Thanks for posting it here.
