Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 2:12 pm I agree with Petrus. I suspect it's a fantasy fake geared towards tourist sales. The reverse(?) references Philip II silver issues of Macedon, like these: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3703107 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=388516 I don't think there is a corresponding obverse, particularly in a base metal, for that reverse. Although a contemporary Celtic imitation is not out of the question, I lean toward it being a modern fake. I could be wrong, though. I suggest moving this to the Ancients/Medieval board to get more eyes on it. Report this Post to the Staff
