mrv Valued Member United Kingdom 256 Posts	Posted 04/30/2022 11:41 am I've got this token in a bunch of coins, a Google image search indicates that it's based on The Tiberius Denarius - 'The Tribute Penny'. I can't find any other details about it, can someone please enlighten me. Thank you in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe it's sold in gift shops. Given the popularity of the Tribute Penny - on account of it's links to the Bible - real ones aren't cheap. Tiberius Silver Denarius, 14-37AD Lyon. Silver, 19x18mm, 3.6g. Tiberius, laureate, right; TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS. Female figure (Livia), draped, seated, right on chair with plain legs, holding branch and long sceptre; below chair, a double line; PONTIF MAXIM (RIC I 26). From the South Norfolk Hoard 2014.

More of a modern fantasy representation . 'Based' on original would be an accurate way of describing it. Report this Post to the Staff
