FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3434 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 07:57 am Your coin purports to be an AE Tetras of Kamarina dating from the 5th century BC Bronze coins of this period tend to be a bit on the 'crude' as far as the flans go Kinda rough around the edges The artistic style is "archaic" as opposed to the classical idealized most people are familiar with in Greek coins A quick google search turned up these two genuine examples Note the flans Note the style Report this Post to the Staff
