Dacian Imitation Of Republian Denarius

Here is the coin I posted in Smackdown IX that I didn't have identified. Doing some searching after that, I had a feeling it might be an imitation.

I wrote, and sent the photo to Phil Davis asking for his opinion. He kindly replied confirming that it was a Dacian imitation and gave me the following information.

Class A, Group II: Dacian Monetary Imitations.

The reverse imitating the reverse of C. Licinius Macer, Crawford 354/1, 84 BC.

The obverse possibly imitating Publius Calpurnius, Crawford 247/1, 133 BC. "although there are many other possibilities."
"The 50 year difference between the obverse and reverse prototypes is not unusual."
"These imitations are all rather scarce, much more so than the Republican originals they imitate."

His web site is here and has a great deal of interesting information about these kinds of coins.

Also I have below images from acsearch to show the similarities of the coins being imitated. First, a coin of C. Licinius Macer (for reverse), and second, one of Publius Calpurnius (for obverse).



I bought the coin at a local shop on Sat. afternoon, a few hours before the deadline to post on Smackdown IX, so I would have a second coin with horses. I don't know what it is worth but I paid 25.00 for it.
