Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 08:16 am I think it is a modern replica of an ancient coint. Can I read 'NRL' on the first picture? Bigger pictures would help Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 08:27 am & Both pictures have the top to the left, so yes bigger pictures turned the right way would help. The top one shows a horse prancing right, quite a common image on Greek and Roman coinage. The bottom one though doesn't immediately remind me of a specific region. From the sharpness of the 'strike' and the style overall I would say it is a modern tourist copy/token. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 09:20 am I believe the initials are "WRL". Westair Reproductions Ltd is a British-based manufacturer of replicas and reproductions of ancient and mediaeval coins. This piece is a replica of a gold stater of one of the pre-Roman Anglo-Celtic tribes. It would have originally been sold in a little informative card outlining exactly what it is a copy of. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
