I did my research on google and I found out that these coins looks similar to the Decadrachm coins although I'm not experienced with old coins but from what I see the details on the coins are wiped out probably because of it's age? Please help me to find out.. Thanks 🙏; Report this Post to the Staff

I have built an extensive collection of fake ancient coins over perhaps the last 15 years or so, and so I have become very familiar with handling and careful inspection of them.

You should be able to see right away that these are different: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces49191.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 08:54 am Yes, sorry, but there's no such thing as "golden decadrachms". Decadrachms are solid silver. They didn't come in gold, and these are clearly not gold either - they're modern brass replicas. 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
