I cant read the letters, but I assume it's roman since there is a head with laureat on one side and the fortuna on the other side. Any ideas/ historical data? value? Report this Post to the Staff

arminius88 New Member Germany 3 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 4:49 pm apparently it is not fake, but it really looks like a badly made imitation if I compare it to other roman coins. Coin has documents that prove it is genuine. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 5:13 pm to the community Very interesting initiation of a Roman coin, the obverse appears to be double struck. Ancient coins traveled great distances so I'm not surprised where this was found. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 6:35 pm I agree with Arnoldoe, certainly Herakles on the reverse, not Fortuna. He may be holding a bow as well as the club. Perhaps a candidate for the prototype: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=338091 Or: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4954255 Edited by Kamnaskires 09/21/2018 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
