Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 11:47 am It is not genuine - the style is far too crude and the lumpy surface indicates that it's a cast. Fakes of these types from Afghanistan and Pakistan have been a persistent problem for years. Local buys a $1 repro from China and peddles it to tourists with the story of "I just dug this up and need money - please buy it from me" Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 5:25 pm Tourist copy fake. I have seen many of these on my travels. I was in Afghanistan waaaay back in 1970, helping to drive an old Sydney double deck bus to India to Europe. Much younger then, but already had a keen interest in collecting ancient coins.
