maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 05:59 am I am sorry to inform you that this looks like a modern cast replica. The details are soft and mushy. I have also found a match one a fakes database. Same flan shape and wear pattern confirming the cast fake. Report this Post to the Staff
inherited200coin New Member United Kingdom 6 Posts	Posted 12/01/2024 06:58 am Thanks. The coin was purchased in the 1980s so if it is a reproduction it's not a recent one. I actually overlayed the reproduction image over the coin that I have and there are clear differences. The S and C are different shapes for example. If it wasn't a reproduction what would it be? Is it Trajan? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
