amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 7:34 pm Looks modern. But what do I know?. Maybe a Mod should move this to the ancients forum? Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 8:19 pm Not my area, but these look to be two reverses of tetradrachms of Phillip II of Macedonia. I'm guessing that using two reverses, without the usual bust obverse, means that this copy could not be mistaken for a genuine coin.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 8:38 pm Found a reference at the British Portable Antiquities Scheme: Quote: Modern fantasy forgery; cast piece coupling two reverses from Philip II tetradrachms. Sounds promising; I just can't get the full page to open. Report this Post to the Staff
