Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 09:31 am Doesn't look like a genuine coin to me. What is the material, weight and diameter? Report this Post to the Staff
Philip96 New Member United Kingdom 11 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 09:37 am Thanks, it weighs about 10 grams and has a diameter of 2.2 cm. No idea for the material :) Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5173 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 09:40 am Looks like it's supposed to be Ancient Greek (at least on the first side), but this one doesn't feel particularly real to me either. Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 1:09 pm A real Ancient Greek coin would never depict a pumpkin. They didn't reach Europe until the Columbian Exchange maybe 1500's. Report this Post to the Staff
