Very rare authentic ancient coin.

Please see photos for additional details regarding the coin.

Contemporary copies are those that were made at the same time as, or shortly after, the official coins that they imitate. Some are convincing and were probably intended to pass as official coins, while others are so badly copied that they would not have fooled anyone. The latter must have been produced by a local community when the amount of official Roman coinage was insufficient to meet their daily needs.

Due to the uniqueness of each item, please refer to the photos provided in this auction. We offer high resolution images of each item rather than a written description of condition.

This item is being shipped from the Pristine Auction warehouse.
