Does This Antonianus Pius Sestertius Look Off? Cant Find Ric

Looks to be what is generally termed "Paduan"
High quality castings made several centuries ago .
The very best having come from Padua
They have been known to sometimes bring hefty prices
But they are best considered as 'collectible' fakes

thank you very much, felt something was of with the XVI and it looked strange. reputable auctionhouse not specialised in coins....'
to bad Giovanni da Cavino didnt sign? I actually find his work VERY nice from the minutes I have spent digging in!

interesting that ppl collected reproductions back then.
found some examples and they sure look like the one posted. But this one might even be a cast of a copy

They were not exactly reproductions. More like fantasies inspired in the originals. Very nice branch of the early italian medallic art.

Very interesting and thank you for sharing!
