It does seem like the same coin. The weight and diameter are the same.

Well it seems, ... but MOST likely it is NOT.
It clearly looks like a contemporary fake from one of the Dimitrovgrad or Harmanli  "museum copy" workshops, specialized in gold coin counterfeits in Bulgaria, and they do a great job.    - undetectable without a chemistry lab in case of golds.

I trust you will make responsible judgement and NOT sell it to a less knowledgable person as "original ancient gold"

I am sure you'll find it there. Sorry for the disappointment.

As I said, if it's authentic. sorry to here it possibly not…
It does hard to just 'find' such coins...

Curious, really.

So, did you send it?

Yes it was the real thing. I sold it for $3500.00 USD. It was appraised at $5000.00 USD.
I wish I could have kept it longer, but I had medical bills to pay.
