Hi Marcos, this is a nickel-brass Greek 50 Drachmes coin dated 2000. It features the ancient poet Homer and an ancient galley.

Collector value may be worth about .15 with heavy wear to around .25 with moderate wear to maybe .75 with light wear to perhaps $1.75 if uncirculated (no wear).
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
