sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 10:55 am Black color suggests a contemporary fouree denarius, but perhaps struck from authentic dies. Perhaps an example of dishonesty by mint officials? I have seen a couple of examples of Elagabalus denarii similar to this one, over the years. Report this Post to the Staff
pastpost Valued Member France 383 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 1:05 pm @ sel_69l - Thanks a lot for your comments. The black color of the metal on the coin is most likely an incorrect color rendering. The coin has a dark green patina. The new photos may show this better. I'm almost sure the coin is authentic. Report this Post to the Staff
