Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 6:03 pm It's a double-headed copy of this Roman Republican denarius. Probably not silver. The only reason to make it out of silver would be to try to fool a coin collector - and most coin collectors aren't going to be fooled by a double-headed coin like this.
