Mlahoudh what pushed me and send the image to you to some information about them came to Ina I have not found the limit of OT I am sorry, man. I can't understand a word you wrote. It frankly makes no sense. Some of the words are not words. I am not sure what your native language is but if you wrote in your language, we might be able to translate it with the computer. Otherwise I can't make out what you said. Something about Patina, profiteering and God? Edited by Ancientnoob

Gotta love that 'google' translate !
Apparently it works (more) better in some cases than others.
Didn't we have someone in the UAE around here ? We could definitely use an interpreter for this post !

Reasons for Fake...
Legend doesn't look right to me...
The bust style looks off
and as Doucet pointed out it appears to be a mixture of coins types.
If it is determined to be ancient then I would assume it is a "Limes" coin.
A limes coin is a coin that was used officially or unofficially on the fringes of the empire where coins of value were not kept due to lack of security. You wouldn't want fine silver falling into the hands of your enemies. Limes are often made from mixed dies and create a variety of unrecorded varieties. This does not make the coin valuable or rare. It makes the coin an ancient offical/unofficial imitation.
Although many fakers will make fantasy coins, based on the same principle.
Limes denarii were struck in low silver base metal not cast. I suspect this coin is cast...There is what seems to be a pearl or deformation at about the 11 o'clock position.
Limes are poorly understood so you must take this a face value, until the coin is proven fake, its at least an ancient fake to me.

Do you think that this currency is outdated or it is not authentic?
Or is it fake?

Well the currency is out dated for sure  I do think it is a fake.... I also think it might be an ANCIENT FAKE...which is a good thing...I cannot be sure without the coin in hand. The metal corrosion is the best thing going for it. Do I think the coin is valuable?.....I don't think so. |

The problem with provincial coins is that there isn't enough reference material available to list every coin struck. Moushmov is the reference that is most used but it is way out of date and I have not come across a copy of the book, so we are limited to what shows up at sales and on Whirlwinds, Acsearch, etc for our references. The reverse on your coin is unique in that one would expect to have seen it before. The reverse seem to fit the location where the coin was struck. Laodikeia ad Mare was located on the Syrian coast so seeing an image of Poseidon holding a lighthouse is very possible. IMO you coin is real, but I have been wrong more times than I care to admit. It's just a coin that has not been cataloged. This doesn't mean that the coin is rare though.

The coin seems to be a complete match for Prieur 1112 from Laodicea-ad-Mare. It is relatively scarce with Prieur citing 3 examples. Here is an example I found online for comparison.  Martin |
