I bought this coin in a lot in 1971 and always thought it was a fake .
A few days ago , I found the same coin on the website of the American Numismatic Society :


Iuia-Domna-/-Hadrianothera
and now I have doubts : is it a fake or not ?
What do you think ?

I suppose that I need a better image, but provincial coinage not always is so well made as "Imperial"...
I think that can be genuine.

From what I can see the coin looks fine to me, you might be able to clean it a bit to bring out more of the details,

I cant give a good opinion with that picture, but Id say authentic from what I can see.

The other picture is also interesting - its the second Julia Domna ive seen with a Leo monogram counterstamp.
