Help ID Coin in Pendant Please?!

[soar697877]

This coin pendant was "eye candy" so to speak, as it was not found with
a metal detector and it was not underground when found. Can anyone
help determine what the coin is?

I believe it does have what looks to be a
stamped number on the back right side of "950"

I believe this is a modern replica, made for jewelry, of a silver drachma of Alexander the Great.

950 parts of silver per 1000

950 can be platinum mark as well as silver * since its jewelry but silver is much more likely of course
