Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 04/12/2023 07:26 am Yes I agree with @era on this. There were a series of these ancient coin reproductions, all marked with NP75. Here is a link to the numista page on this specific one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia87650.html Added: while this object is gold-colored, it wasn't manufactured out of actual gold.

The whole set sold on ebay recently for $40 for the 10 of them and this one seems to be missing the marks even on that set.

Had I been aware of these tokens in the 1970's, it would have spurred my turn towards ancients far earlier. Report this Post to the Staff
