What test did yu have done to it to see if it is real gold and not brass or just gold plated?

I am NOT an ancient coin expert, but the lighting and pictures make it look like many modern brass reproductions I have seen (of different coins).

I hope I am wrong!

I asked a gold store and they told me it is real gold but this time I will test it in a trusted store to make sure , also I thought it is modern but I couldn’t find any similarity of any coin or any imperator has the same face in any where which let me trying to find answer and to not give up . If I test and it’s become a real gold does that mean it’s worth a lot ?

If it is gold, and not gold plated, then you can weigh it and then check online to see how much gold is worth per ounce and calculate the value.

If no one here can help, try posting it in the ancient coin forum at coincommunity.com. They have some guys over there who are experts at identifying ancient coins. They also are familiar with a lot of the reproductions sold for souvenirs.
