Real or fake ancient coin

3 berichten • 139 keer bekeken

Hello! I found this ancient coin and I was wondering whether if it's real or not? (probably not though, but I'm not 100% sure). Can you help me to identify it please? Thanks in advance! :) 

 

It appears to be a fake. The details don't look right and the planchet is too round.

Hey, in my opinion your coin is unfortunately a copy, because:

 

- the coin looks like a (tetra-)drachm, which was made of silver (picture: Zeus sitting to the left).

 

Could be something like this coin (not exactly it): N#191699 ; N#182113

 

- The type of surface (casting) does not look similar to the real coins.
