Looks like a modern copy of an ancient Greek coin made for a non-collector (e.g. child's toy / pirate treasure / something made for a movie) as the quality is quite poor.

This looks similar, as do a couple of the others, but as far as I know, you do not find them with horse & rider on both sides of a coin. Still could be a barbarous copy, or it could be a modern fake, toy money etc. Wait for some more replies.
